I've run into a few articles on the Q2 last night the just out upgrade from the just plain Q only this one not just full frame but also way high rez. 47MP's! The Sony has had the compact high rez full frame out a few years now not sure if people buy it or like me just dream about it. It's seems pocketable. The Leica not pocketable.
Looking at it this morning with more news sources weighing in it seems like an M with a 28 1.7 lens stuck to it for five grand American money. It does not seem all that much smaller or lighter than a M in which you could put compact glass on the front of it or a Noctilux. So this is a bad review. I’m not all that hot on the not compact or cheap enough newest camera from Leica. I think they should stop putting fast monster lenses on compact cameras making them no longer compact or light weight cameras. Or cheap.

None of the reviews I read addess if low light preformace is made worse buy the ultra high rez increase.  As if they really held the camera in their hands.
Also they're calling it a Summilux and it’s a f1.7. Sad.
To me its like the "one inch sensor" thing.. A misdirect. Leicas doing well they don't need to lie.
A digital lie is still a lie.
