Many Leica enthusiasts claim to recogise this special Leica signature but I am not so sure. Inevitably, however, there will be a price increase and the arrival of a new model is perhaps the best time time go for a used Q2 from a reputable retailer such as Red Dot Cameras in London.Īs for the Leica “glow”, the jury is out. This is likely to have a 60 MP sensor which would mean that crops up to, say, 90mm or even 100mm equivalent would be feasible. When to buy? Well, there are rumours of a Q3 coming in a few months, possibly even before Q3 (as in Quarter 3). For landscape, however, I think the Q2 is a great tool. But the Q2 acquits itself well at a 70mm-equivalent crop. The M route is obviously much more expensive, with the body alone costing more than the Q2 and a 28mm Summilux-M lens itself costing nearly as much as the Q2 (if not more, I haven’t checked recently).Īfter the 24-200 zoom on the Sony, however, you would have to live with one fixed focal length and sacrifice a touch of width. It’s reasonable because the package includes that lovely Summilux lens. If you are tempted to take the plunge, Chris, I would recommend the Leica Q as the best all-rounder at a “reasonable” price.

And what is the future for micro four-thirds? Could heavier micro four-thirds bodies and lighter full-frame bodies squeeze APS-C out of existence? Leica’s decision to pull out of APS-C last year offers support to Mr Yamaki’s belief that this format is in decline, with more photographers choosing to replace their crop-format sensors for the rapidly developing full-frame mirrorless designs. There are rumours that hybrid autofocus, recently introduced on the new Lumix S5 II, will soon be adopted for some Lumix micro four-thirds bodies. Nevertheless, there is still demand for the format, particularly in the video sector, where Panasonic Lumix has created a strong reputation. Panasonic’s GH6, shown here, is the company’s flagship offering, although in weight and size, it is almost identical to the company’s full-frame S5 ![]() Despite rumours of a decline in the micro four-thirds market, both OM-Systems and Lumix continue to develop the format and report strong demand.
