What happens when you strip away all color and shoot exclusively in black-and-white? That was the challenge at hand when I started testing the Leica Q3 Monochrom, a camera carrying the same shooting specs as the standard Q3 but packing a mono sensor. This 60.3MP beast captures highly detailed images, chock-full of detail, and even with no color in sight, the images are characterful and nothing short of stunning.
Aiding the Q3 Monochrom’s position as one of the best mirrorless cameras is clean high ISO performance, all packaged into a body that handles well, is easy to use, and is beautifully designed. Autofocus is fast and reliable, and the camera can even shoot 8K/30fps video (in black-and-white only).
