Q (Typ 116) overview

The Leica Q (Typ 116) is a 24.2 MP full-frame compact camera with a built-in lens, announced by Leica in June 2015. It is discontinued, so new stock may be limited.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits low light. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust as well as paid jobs that need a backup card.

New, it sells for $4,495 to $4,795 at the 2 stores we track in the United States that have it in stock; used and refurbished copies start at $1,899. It launched at $4,250.

Worth comparing it with the Leica Q2, Fujifilm X100V and Fujifilm X100F.

Bigger pixels gather more light each, so they tend to show less noise at high ISO, but sensor design matters as much. For real noise at ISO 6400, these sites measure it:
