Look like just another Leica Digital that makes good pictures as usual. The time will tell us more about this camera and then when the next one replaces it will remain the same curiosity how the new camera performs than the previous one. 

Good luck and enjoy your toys and show us all your pictures to impress us.

I came back to this photo again and give another look, Is this the characteristic quality of the camera or the photographer's point of view or the composition and the subject that appeals to me? If in case any of those things are changed do I consider another look?  Whatever cameras it did, of course, I do I consider this a nice portrait? As this thread is on this new camera  I give some credit to it too. It has the ability to continue to duplicate the Leica quality Photos as most of all the Leica cameras did. If you talk about the advantages concerning photography and consider more productivity Then I must consider this camera seriously. Very nice photo .

The unusual thing is that the Q2 is now by far the highest MP Leica camera. Using the latest gen TowerJazz sensor found in the upcoming S1R.

The DR is excellent. ISO 50 is also pretty sweet.

At 0.49MB limit attachments, the pictures found in this thread are but a mere tease of what this camera is actually capable of! ;)

Missed focus slightly, but I still like it.

Exposure 1/50 F1.7, ISO 160.  I love the extremely shallow depth of field....

Made liberal use of the 35 & 50mm crop modes, works well.

These look great, despite some challenging shooting conditions.

Just curious, what ISO were you at?

Ok, can't someone show a little mercy for those few of us that have decided not to upgrade at this time and post a bad shot from a Q2?  These photos are all fantastic! 

I'm not sure I entirely agree--even though I probably will upgrade eventually.

I've been struggling with image quality of the Q2. Some of these photos, where the main subject is front and center, seem to me actually to have too much "pop." I realize that sounds absurd, given that Leica (and Zeiss) is famous for the "pop." Pop allows a photograph to produce on a two-dimensional plane a three-dimensional projection. The human brain through its eye portal also produces three dimensionality, but it fully takes aware of what, in camera terms, is the bokeh (psychologically, rather than physiologically, because background to the eye technically if miraculously is in complete focus).

The larger Q2 sensor is so good, so highly resolved, that when I stare at a lot of these photos, I sense the main subject not just in a separate dimension from background, as is the case for what the mind/eye produces, but really in a completely separate psychological sphere. It just seems too digitized, too "unnatural" to me.

I know it's just me. We all have our different favorite lenses (and favorite film), and I will get used to this, as we all get used to whatever's new. But I do sense that as Leica adapts this larger sensor, we are going further down a particular path aesthetically. It's not just because of sheer perversion that many of our best photographers on this site still shoot film.
