There are not many new full frame fixed lens cameras nowadays, especially premium cameras. Since Sony offed its RX range, this has effectively left Leica with an open goal for its Q series of cameras, but Leica being Leica, it is still going to showboat before kicking the ball into the net.
The Leica Q series began in 2015, with the idea of a full-frame compact camera that balanced exceptional image quality and intuitive controls. The Leica Q's 28mm f/1.7 lens also won significant praise, with many likening it to Leica’s finest M series lenses. Building on this success, Leica introduced the Leica Q2 in 2019, featuring a higher resolution sensor, weather sealing, and improved usability. Leica is now back with the third iteration of the Q series, the aptly named Leica Q3.
