Can't honestly say I'm impressed. I like the size and the resolution
increase and the Q was and is an interesting camera.

I'd like to see better test images. Does anyone really pay $5k to take
pictures of corgis and second-rate street scenes?

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.

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.
