I'm hoping the new sensor gets adapted for the Leica M and SL systems. The reason I never gave into the temptation to get an M10 or M10-P was that they have no more resolution than my M-P, but a 47 MP M11-P would probably get me to upgrade.

My biggest surprise in the review is his mention of people not using profiles? Is that really true? I usually have at least 3 profiles defined:

  1. Aperture priority: centre focus, weighted exposure, auto iso 3200, AF-S
  2. Street: face / wide focus, minimum shutter speed 1/125, higher auto iso
  3. Tripod: OIS off, one click Fotos app connect for remote shutter

I really want to like this camera, it ticks all my boxes except one..I want an easy to use, fast, super quality camera. The Sony-ish colour science is the deal breaker every time I think about buying. It's a shame.

Wow... great review, thanks! 

I own the Q2 and she is driving me crazy on one thing, I usually move my focus point, and with all other cameras, with the pressure of the central button, the focus point returns to center, here instead I switch to the video mode! I hate this feature... Hope that someone can fix this.

A great review which I enjoyed reading. I pick mine up tomorrow :)

Can you confirm the base ISO is 100 (not 50)? Other reviewers seem to say it is 50. 

HI There Ian

Well, I don’t know for certain, and I’m not sure if I could say if I did. BUT 

Auto ISO uses 100 as the lowest auto, which suggests to me that 50 is probably a pull .

All the best

Excellent. Thank you for this. As far as the weatherproofing goes, do you think it would survive a drenching from a wave at sea, for example?

 

Hi Nigel

I’m not certain, but I would certainly thing so - it survived many hours in the rain in China without effect.

Actually you do not need another Q, if you already got one. 

If not Q2 is a must have

somewhere on Leica Rumors someone described the technical parameters of the weather proofing (same as the SL), something like (and I can't remember exactly) moderate rain at a 15 degree angle for x amount of minutes.... wish I could find it.

No camera is a must have for me. I have far more than enough already. Doesn't stop me from wanting another, however.

I also just read it to my wife. She laughed out loud then said there should be a thread just for spouses of Leica Q owners so she could go there and commensurate. 🤣

My partner just rolls his eyes and ignores me. "It's your money..." he says.

[ I don't have a Q2 yet, so all I can do is read the manual 🙂 ]

The manual says (p 151):

- Auto ISO range is 200 - 50000 (Q's lowest Auto ISO is 100)

- Manual ISO range 50 - 50000

DPR claims that ISO 50 is native ISO.

It's an IP52, if I remember correctly - http://www.dsmt.com/resources/ip-rating-chart/

FYI, it's actually printed on the bottom of the camera.
