Leica's Q-P is now stripped down and more ‘pure’ to the Leica concept

Leica's full-frame Typ 116 Q compact camera is one of our favorites among the compacts we've shot with at TechRadar. 

In the past we've also seen some limited-edition versions, including a lovely titanium gray version, and the new Q-P is the latest bespoke model.

The new camera features the same full-frame 24.2MP CMOS sensor, ultra-fast fixed 28mm f/1.7 lens and a crystal-clear 3,680,000-dot electronic viewfinder as the standard version, but like the recently launched Leica M10-P, the new Q-P is all about discretion. 

There's no sign of the Leica's famous 'red dot' badge on the front of the camera, and there's a now just ‘Leica’ lettering on the top plate of the camera. 

The Q-P also features a matte black paint finish, which Leica reckons is particularly resilient. Another design cue that separates the standard Q from the Q-P is the redesigned shutter release button, which now replicates those on the Leica M and CL cameras.

The Leica Q-P is priced at £4,100 / $4,995. Australian pricing to be confirmed.
