COMPACT TEST
EXPERT OPINION ON THE LATEST KIT
www.leica-camera.com £1,999/$2,198
The Leica Q2 has been in our list of the best compact cameras for some time, and for good reason: we love it, not least for its image quality. Now the limited edition Leica Q2 Reporter is here, but does it steal the original Q2’s thunder?
Leica’s camera range can get confusing, so here’s a quick run-down. This German brand is probably best known for its Leica M rangefinders, which take interchangeable M-series lenses. The Q2 Reporter shares the same ‘look’ as the M-series, but it’s a different design – a compact camera with a fixed lens.
Leica also makes SL-series L-mount mirrorless cameras, including the professional-level Leica SL2 (which has a lot in common with the Panasonic Lumix S1R). There’s also the rarely seen Leica S3 medium-format DSLR.
Key features
The Leica Q was one of the best sellers in Leica’s illustrious history, and this wave of new adopters and upgraders continued with the release of its successor, the Leica Q2. The Q2 series already features a dedicated Monochrom version, and now the new Reporter ‘Green’ colour has been introduced to this compact powerhouse hybrid line, in the form of the Leica Q2 Reporter.
1. Without even the hint of a grip, the Q2 Reporter needs to have the extra security of a strap.
