GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Street, Documentary & Travel Photography — X-Pro2 (2016): The X-Pro series at its most balanced — 24MP X-Trans III, weather sealing, and a refined hybrid viewfinder that made it a street photography benchmark.
Documentary, Portrait & Reportage Photography — Q3 43 (2024): The Q3 with the most human lens — 43mm, 60MP, and Leica rendering at its most natural and versatile.
