Can beginners of photography control the Leica Q camera? Super configuration, value for money.

As the best representative of German cameras, Leica cameras have always been famous for their high standards and high quality, but can you control them for beginners? Let's take a look at all aspects of this camera configuration!

Leica q camera

Leica Q adopts magnesium-aluminum alloy body, and its design style is a continuation of the spirit of the classic paraxial camera Leica M. The price of this camera is as high as 4,250 US dollars (about 27,000 yuan). It uses a 24.2 megapixel Quan Huafu CMOS sensor and a 28mm f/ 1.7 fixed-focus lens. It doesn't support mechanical zoom and can't change the lens, but the wide angle and large aperture give it powerful shooting ability.

Compact body of Leica Q camera

Cameras such as Leica Q are very suitable for street shooting. They are very small, very quiet, and the focusing speed is super fast. You can use them to quickly capture interesting moments and then put them in your pocket or bag to move on.

High-end configuration of Leica Q camera

Although this camera is small, it is equipped with very high-end technology and performance, such as a 3.6 megapixel LCD electronic viewfinder. With such a high resolution, users can get fine focus and vivid scene preview through this viewfinder. In addition, Leica Q is equipped with a 3-inch LCD touch screen, and users can quickly adjust the settings with their fingers.

Advanced configuration of Leica Q camera

Leica Q supports shooting in DNG and RAW formats, with ISO up to 50,000. It can also be connected with supporting applications, allowing users to preview the pictures taken in real time and remotely control them on their mobile phones.

Leica Q camera is suitable for continuous shooting.

The continuous shooting speed of this camera can reach up to 10fps, and it also uses an upgraded autofocus system. Its aperture and shutter speed mechanical dial feel natural, and the lens can be switched between 35mm and 50mm modes through digital zoom settings. The mechanical ring in front of the fuselage can also be adjusted to macro shooting mode.

The only drawback of Leica Q camera is that it does not support 4K.

If there is anything lacking in this camera, it is video shooting. Only 1080p and 60fps video shooting are supported at most, and 4K is not supported. Considering that 4K is gradually becoming the industry standard, this seems a bit unreasonable.

Leica Q camera is suitable for specific photography.

Ordinary photographers who prefer SLR+multi-lens combination may be suspicious of this camera, but you may have noticed that such people rarely buy Leica products. This camera is for those who focus on a certain type of shooting, don't want to be too burdened during the trip, and have high requirements for shooting quality. Yes, its price is really outrageous, but in the right hands, Leica Q is definitely worth it.
