“And finally, our favorite point-and-shoot camera also comes with the biggest of the pricetags – the Leica Q2. There is a lot to love about the Leica Q2; image quality, build quality, optics, and versatility all come to mind. For image quality, the Leica Q2 has a full-frame 47.3-megapixel sensor. For the optics, the camera features a fast, sharp, and versatile 28mm f/1.7 ASPH lens that delivers exceptional image quality and sharpness across the frame. And for build quality, you get what you’d expect from the robust German engineering you’d expect from Leica. The downside? A price point north of $5K, which is more than what you could get in the professional DSLR and Mirrorless platform systems.

This camera is recommended to those who need the resolution, the image quality, and the money to support those needs. Make no mistake, pound for pound, there is no better point-and-shoot camera on the market. But this camera is also the most expensive in that field by a significant margin.” (via Lensrentals)
