If there’s a downside to this camera, most people would say it’s the look of its 28mm lens. It’s not a deal-breaker for us, though.
Let’s start right off with the remarkable size and weight of this all-in-one camera and lens. The Q2’s body weight is an incredible 1.5-pounds, including its permanently affixed 28mm f/1.7 Summilux lens.
To its benefit, it has the same full-frame sensor inside as the advanced SL2, allowing it to produce exceptionally high-quality imagery. The Q2 operates a lot like a much smaller version of the Leica M, with a tactile shutter speed dial and an aperture ring on the lens.
It has a 1/500th second flash sync speed, which is impressively double that of full-sized interchangeable-lens cameras. If you’re looking for a high-powered, compact camera ideal for lugging around, consider the Q2.
