Leica Q-P
An artful statement of understatement
The Leica Q-P is tailored to fulfill the most stringent aesthetic and technical expectations. It favors a classic Leica script engraving on the top plate over the usual front-facing Leica red dot logo for a more discreet look, stealthy matte-black paint finish that looks and feels like nothing else, and a redesigned shutter release button for a more positive tactile feedback. The new Leica Q-P also comes complete with a new carrying strap in the finest brown leather, and an additional battery.
It carries the same superior image quality and technical excellence of the standard Leica Q in silver and black finishes, but further refines this amazing formula.
Make a true statement of understatement
The Leica Q has well-established itself as a full-frame compact camera for all occasions and types of photography. The new Leica Q-P sees a redesign of the acclaimed Q, forgoing the iconic red dot and applying a matte black, high-resistance paint to make a true statement of understatement.
German photographer Philipp Reinhard took the new Leica Q-P and put its versatility to the test. He created a series combining the street photography process with a focus on architectural shapes, forms and perspectives.

Reactive
The integrated viewfinder of the Leica Q-P is activated as soon as the camera is brought up to the eye. It faithfully displays the camera’s image at any time, right down to the smallest detail and without any perceptible delay.
With its resolution of 3.68 MP, it is ideal for taking pictures in backlight situations, even the smallest details of the image are reliably displayed at all times.
The autofocus is also outstanding, capturing with ultimate sharpness at maximum speed. The new Maestro II series processor works extremely rapidly and allows a serial image speed of up to 10 frames per second at full resolution.
And of course, the images are instantly available as a JPEG in playback mode.
Intuitive
Intuitive, ergonomic, pragmatic. The controls of the Leica Q-P provide quick access to all relevant options and opportunities. For example, auto-focus can be set either using buttons or via the touch screen.
Prefer to focus manually? Then let the innovative Live View aids “Focus-Peaking” and “Live View Zoom” assist you. Easy to use, the Leica Q-P helps you implement your ideas perfectly – at the press of a button.
Networked
The built-in Wi-Fi module on the Leica Q-P makes it easy to share your pictures and videos on social networks. Images can be downloaded conveniently to your smartphone via WLAN and the complimentary Leica FOTOS app.
The app also allows the Leica Q-P to be operated remotely. For example, set the time and aperture on your smartphone and use it as a remote-control release.
In this way, blur-free long exposures and recordings are possible from unusual angles – and also as moving images. What’s more, you can record video in Full-HD and web-friendly MP4.
Reliable
The Leica maxim ‘focusing on the essentials’ also applies to the Leica Q-P’s exterior design.
It lacks the Leica red-dot logo, but features a discreet, classic Leica script engraved on the top plate, matte-black paint finish and a redesigned shutter release button. Made in Germany, the high quality materials and outstanding craftmanship guarantee maximum durability.
The new Leica Q-P also comes complete with a new carrying strap in the finest brown leather, and an additional battery.
The thumb rest on the back of the camera and the diamond pattern of the exterior finish make the Leica Q-P beautifully easy to grip.
