The new Leica Q2 has the following specs....
24x36 full frame sensor
Sensor has resolution of 47.3MP
Summilux 28 mm f/1.7 ASPH fixed, non-zoom, and non-interchangeable lens
OLED viewfinder has a resolution of 3.68 megapixels  ( no optical RF or VF)

Internal cropping ( now referred to as "digital zoom") of this lens allows 
for the following fixed equivalent Fl and resolutions.....  BUT for JPG 
files ONLY!!
Zoom 28 mm: 47 megapixels (8368x5584 pixels), 24 megapixels (6000x4000 
pixels), 12 megapixels (4271x2848 pixels). 3 different resolutions, I guess 
dependent on JPG compression ratios.....
Zoom 35 mm: 30 megapixels (6704x4472 pixels), 15 megapixels (4800x3200 
pixels), 8 megapixels (3424x2288 pixels)
Zoom 50 mm: 15 megapixels (4688x3128 pixels), 8 megapixels (3360x2240 
pixels), 4 megapixels (2400x1600 pixels)
Zoom 75 mm: 7 megapixels (3136x2096 pixels), 3 megapixels (2240x1496 
pixels), 2 megapixels (1600x1072 pixels)

DNG:  RAW files of 47.3MP  No Zoom at all.  Crop in your choice of LR, or 
other.....

As long as you are happy to shoot JPG files, this is a fine set of specs.
If you wish to shoot RAW images, not as much.... but you o get to crop in 
your own HxW ratios and specific areas to crop.

If they would simply put a M mount on the camera, forget the AF, and focus 
the camera on the Digi-M functions, it would be a fine camera for me.
