Product Overview

Leica Q (Typ 116) is a high-end Full-Frame compact camera with a prime lens. Introduced by Leica in 2015, it comes with a full-frame sensor with 24 MP (6000 x 4000) resolution and a 3.68 million-dot EVF.
The 10.0 fps burst rate serves enthusiasts well enough, though some professionals may find it limiting.
The Leica Q comes with 49 autofocus points. Interestingly, Leica has endowed this compact camera with a prime lens, which appeals to a distinctly different set of consumers than the usual point-and-shoot users.
