Leica Q2: 47.3MP full-frame fixed-lens compact with Summilux glass
The Q2 pairs a 47.3MP full-frame CMOS sensor with a fixed 28mm f/1.7 Summilux lens, a 11-element optical design that Leica built specifically for this body. That combination produces files dense enough to crop meaningfully, which is exactly what the built-in crop modes exploit: switching to a 35mm, 50mm, or 75mm field of view pulls from the sensor's native resolution than interpolating, so you still walk away with workable files. Fourteen-bit DNG capture preserves full tonal latitude for demanding post-processing work.
The Maestro II processor pushes continuous shooting to 10 fps at full resolution, and the electronic shutter reaches 1/40,000 sec for shooting wide open in bright conditions without a neutral density filter. ISO extends from 50 to 50,000 in auto mode. Optical image stabilization is built into the lens assembly, and macro focus drops to 17 cm minimum, which opens the 28mm focal length to close-detail work most people wouldn't expect from it. The 3.68-million-dot EVF and IP52-rated weather resistance round out a camera that earns its keep across a wide range of shooting conditions. At this resolution with this lens, the value case for the Q2 is straightforward.
Who It's For
Street photographers get a fast 28mm f/1.7 with optical stabilization and a pocketable footprint at 718g. Travel photographers benefit from the crop mode system, one body covering 28mm through 75mm equivalent fields of view, all backed by 47.3MP of sensor resolution. Documentary shooters working in variable light will appreciate the ISO 50-50,000 range and IP52 weather sealing. Photographers with demanding RAW workflows get 14-bit DNG files from a full-frame sensor with enough resolution to support significant cropping in post.

FAQ
- Can you shoot 28mm and longer focal lengths on the Q2?
- The Q2 has a fixed 28mm lens, but built-in crop modes simulate 35mm, 50mm, and 75mm fields of view by pulling from the full 47.3MP sensor - no interpolation, so you retain usable resolution at each focal length.
- What's the practical difference between the 47.3MP effective resolution and the 50.4MP actual resolution?
- Leica specs 47.3MP as the effective resolution (8368 x 5584), which is what you work with for stills. The sensor captures 50.4MP natively, but the output is optimized to 47.3MP for optimal color and detail rendering.
- Does the Q2 have autofocus?
- The Q2 uses fixed-lens design optimized for fast autofocus across the frame. Macro mode allows focus as close as 17 cm, which is genuinely useful for close-detail work with a 28mm lens.
- What's the electronic shutter speed and why does it matter?
- Electronic shutter reaches 1/40,000 sec, which lets you shoot f/1.7 in bright daylight without an ND filter - critical flexibility when the lens is fixed and wide open.
- Is the Q2 weather-sealed?
- It carries IP52 rating (splash, dust, and freeze resistant), which covers typical outdoor shooting but isn't full-weather sealing like professional bodies. Reasonable durability for a compact.
- How long does the battery last?
- Approximately 370 shots per charge with the BP-SCL4 battery. Realistic for a 47.3MP EVF camera at this size - carry a spare if you're shooting all day.
- Can you record 4K video?
- Yes - DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) at 23.98 fps, plus UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) at 23.98/29.97 fps, all in MP4 format with stereo audio.
