Sentiment Score 86%The Q2 Monochrom has an excellent design, an easy to navigate menu system and dependable autofocus. The camera’s noise characteristics at high ISO paired with that fast lens make this a great choice for shooting late at night. The level of detail found in every file is impressive and although these images are all straight out of camera, the flexibility of the Raw files once you’ve dropped them into Lightroom is outstanding.

Sentiment Score 82%The Leica Q2 Monochrom costs $5,995. It's a full-frame black-and-white camera with a fixed wide-angle lens. Its color sensor gives you the option to convert photos to black and white later. For the rest of us, the $1,ifilm X100V is a compelling alternative.

Sentiment Score 80%Leica Q2 Monochrom has a 3.68MP OLED electronic viewfinder, rather than an optical viewfinder. Despite being a compact camera, the camera looks and feels very much like a Leica, with a sleek matte black body and minimalist external controls. Using the camera is extremely easy thanks to an intuitive menu system and controls. The camera can shoot full-resolution stills at up to 10fps.
