Q2 Monochrom overview

The Leica Q2 Monochrom is a 47.3 MP full-frame compact camera with a built-in lens, announced by Leica in November 2020. It is discontinued, so new stock may be limited.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits low light, landscape and detail, and bad weather. It is a weaker pick for all-day shooting on one battery and paid jobs that need a backup card.

New, it sells for $6,295 to $6,695 at the 2 stores we track in the United States that have it in stock; used and refurbished copies start at $4,595. Over the last 90 days it has usually cost $5,215 to $6,295 new. It launched at $5,995.

Worth comparing it with the Leica Q2, Leica M10 Monochrom and Leica M11 Monochrom.

Low light & noise

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:
