I’ve never had the intention to be critic with your opinion, I’m sorry if you understood my comment as a critic, it was not my intention.

It will be long explain my reasons, but basically I think the photographer shall frame with the lens it has according to his visualization of the scene, beside this the angles of perspective, preserving the correct proportions for a portrait  or a street scene, the lines …. will not work properly. This look to me like a pixels game….

>> 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.
