[Leica] Leica Q2 just out

[pdzwig at summaventures.com (Peter Dzwig)]

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?
