Again, leaks are confirmed. We carry several weeks reading the rumors that predicted the arrival of a new compact Leica equipped with a Full Frame sensor. And the German mark and has become known. His new Leica Q is a compact sensor with 24 effective megapixels and stabilized Summilux fixed lens 28 mm f / 1.7, but we're only scratching the surface.
This model is also committed to an electronic viewfinder LCoS with an equivalent resolution of 3.68 million dots , TFT LCD monitor of 3 inches and 1.04 million points, recording 1080 / 60p video and WiFi connectivity. As you can see, on paper he looks good. And besides, it will come with a more measured price of what was said at first. Let's see what offers this model in detail.
A the RX1 / R Sony has turned out a pretty strong opponent. As I have advanced in the first lines of this post, Leica integrated within this advanced compact a sensor Full Frame CMOS 24 megapixel with a maximum sensitivity of ISO 50,000 . As you see, it is not bad. The sensor of the Leica Q is attractive, but its objective, which is fixed and stabilized, is if anything even more interesting. And it sets the focal of 28 mm of this optical Summilux and maximum aperture f / 1.7, we offer control the depth of field very appetizing. The image quality of the Leica objectives is often very high, and, on paper, this view looks really good.
Another fairly impressive specification of this compact camera is its electronic viewfinder, equipped with a panel LCoS 3.68 million points and has a coverage of 100%. So far, to my knowledge, no electronic viewfinder with a high resolution. The TFT LCD monitor of the Leica Q has the usual 3 inches, and its resolution amounts to more conventional 1.04 million pixels. Moreover, this camera has a 10 FPS continuous shooting and shutter speed between 30 and 1 / 16,000 s .
With respect to the video recording, the Leica Q is able to collect images with a high quality 1080 / 60p in MPEG-4 format (when this mark will be encouraged with 4K / UHD?). And in terms of connectivity WiFi 802.11b / g / n, but not NFC.
