Leica Q with Leica Q2 Overview


Let's compare Q2 with Q. Both cameras produced Leica. These models are included in the Large Sensor Compact cameras. Leica Q2 was released in 2019, and Leica Q in 2015. Q2 is newer, which is a plus. Q 4 years older. 4 years, this is a pretty big age difference.
The sensor resolution of Q2 is greater than that of Q. The difference of 23 MP is quite a lot. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the second camera (Q), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. Both cameras have Optical image stabilization. Both cameras feature a 3-inch fixed screen.
Both cameras have a electronic viewfinder. All viewfinders has 3680k dot resolution. Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode or continuous high speed mode, is a shooting mode in still cameras. Leica Q2 has 10.0 fps continuous shooting. Leica Q2 has 10.0 fps continuous shooting.
