[Leica] Leica Q2 just out

[Mark Rabiner]

The QP seems like another option. One that I might like. And it seems even more gorgeous forgot why. The new camera I don’t think has a quiet feature like the QP.

    I tried the original Q in Frisco a few years ago and really liked it.  
    My only complaint, aside from price, was the 24 mp that you had to rely 
    on to crop to get a 35 and 50.  I looked at Sony's "equivalent" but 
    dislike Sony and also 35 is not wide enough if I am only carrying one 
    camera.   The last few months I suspected something was up as the price 
    was dropping and I once again was interested.  Now with 47 mp, they have 
    removed my one real complaint, aside from price again.  I might have to 
    wait for the Q3 so the Q2 price would come down.  When I got to play 
    with the Q it just felt good.  I thought the EVF was one of the best at 
    the time and it was just plain fun to shoot with.  I can see why it has 
    been one of Leica' s best sellers.  I just might have to take advantage 
    of Trump's new tax law and spend my rebate on it.  Oh, wait.  My actual 
    tax rate actually went UP, buy about double!! But I am still getting 
    something back.

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.
