Be still my heart. No video button. How will we ever upgrade the firmware? 🙂

Same way as with the Q and the M10. Menu just have upgrade firmware option. As easy as it sounds. 🙂

What if you’re wrong? 😜

I'm not I assure you. Just wait March 6th to be sure. Or ask you Leica dealer and place yourself on their prelaunch waiting list.

I think that you got it wrong. Q and Q2 have exactly the same size. You did not align the hot shoe.

Accessories will be compatible.

OLED EVF is only place more at the left side, leaving more room for the CL diopter adjustment dial

The lens is the same, only the macro ring is made larger, for better grip. Therefore the distance scale is a narrower.

Only a Q with CL accents : dial with button within, three buttons layout and no video button (very sad about it), OLED EVF, shutter with only ON/OFF position and same diopter dial

 

 

I think you right, I Tried it again with a slightly different Leica Q image source, and this time I made a match

By the way the screen of Q2 is different. Not sure if it is bigger, or just another arrangement

Nun ja, kein ISO-Knopf mehr, also muss der Funktionsknopf der ISO-Knopf werden:

Looks like the adjustment wheel on the right has the same functionality with a button inside of it as the CL. I really hope it has the same assignable functionality, with a single tap to activate and hold to change. I was a bit worried about the ISO button going away, but this will easily replace that.

would ISO be adjustable via the wheel?

On the CL, the righthand wheel supports the same kind of set up that the FN button has since FW 3.0 for the Q. You can turn on/off a choice of settings and assign one of them to be activated when the inner button is pushed. I would imagine EV would be the default assigned setting, which you then could change to be ISO instead.

It will work as the right wheel of the CL. Short press to call last selected function. Long press to call a menu to choose another function among up to 8 others. Very easy. 

FN button will work the same way. 

 

No video button, what a shame. Really hate to swipe for video mode. Really stupid idea. Leica goes to far into simplification. It is very hard to make video with the CL.

[Mr.Q]

Off went my Q to the new owner making me Q-less for the first time in 3.5 years. Looking forward to another 3-4 years with the Q2.

[nicci78]

Lucky you. I am not sure to pull the trigger on this one. Still happy with my Q.

Not sure to want to spend 2500-3000€ for upgrade. If not broken, no need to change. And 

[dancook]

I personally feel, as an evangelist of the Leica Q, it necessary to super charge my Q if there is an opportunity!

Also a new camera makes all my usual photography feel brand new, like live music - I look forward to working those crop modes hard!

[nicci78]

I will be much happier with a Q-U = actual Q with X-U shell components and ring flash. 

Please Leica, replace the X-U with a Q-U. Just imagine how nice it will be for underwater and rough outdoor photography

Yes that would be pretty awesome!

+1

Even a Q1-U will open my purse.

I hope they made the SD card slot a UHS-II slot. I often had the Q lock up on me while it was still writing to the card

[nicci78]

I hope also. UHS II should be the minimum requirement with 47MP and 4K

[Leica Guy]

I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Both the Leica SL and the Panasonic DC-S1R have UHS-II slots. I would think with the 47MP files they would almost have to design in faster write speeds to the SD card. Not doing that would be a major disappointment.

Leica has his way to surprise us in a bad way. We’ll see soon

Hallo,

Look here: Leica Q

[nicci78]

Leica store Ginza announced the Q2 price : 800,000 yen = 6,360 € = 7,215 $

FYI actual Q price in Japan is 560,000 yen = 4,450 € = 5,050 $

We can guess 6,000€ with taxes introduction price in Europe. We are approaching a whopping 50% price increase in euros against Leica Q 3,995€ introduction price at June 2015 

 

Sorry, but it will be without m, this time. 

You can start imagine a SL2 47MP at 8,000 €. Almost twice the price of Lumix S1R
