In a way, yes. The beholder being the camera design team.

The choices are based solely on the manufacturer’s opinion of what EI values produce well-exposed sRGB images at the various sensor sensitivity settings.

I was about to point out the same.

He needs to downsize the Q2 file to the same size as Q files to make comparisons.

Even in the files, as it is without downsizing, I see colors holding better in the Q2 files.

Sorry, I was relying on the forum / flickr to show them at the same size instead of downsizing the original file.

Sorry Dan, I am a bit confused. I thought you have downsized them to the same pixel size. Is that not correct? (I am talking about the crop)

So for now, leica Q and Leica Q2 might have similar low light abilities (or at least not as distinctive), if you disregard the ISO #s that is?

From the samples I've seen they look pretty similar apart from the absence of banding in the Q2 which could ruin images in the original Q because it wasn't straight so removing it was nearly impossible. I'd call that a fairly significant improvement albeit that the banding shouldn't have been there in the first place.
