Leica is announcing a Q3 Monochrom, its latest digital camera that captures only black-and-white photos and video. In many ways, the Q3 Monochrom is the same as a standard Q3, but with its 60-megapixel sensor modified to not record color, and dressed up in a stealthier logo-less design. It’s available today for $7,790, a $1,055 upcharge from the regular Q3 that captures color.
Like the standard Q3, the Q3 Monochrom is a weather-resistant compact camera with full-frame sensor and fixed 28mm f/1.7 Summilux lens with image stabilization. It captures RAW photos in Adobe DNG and videos up to 4K / 60p or 8K / 30p. And it’s got a digital zoom button that can crop the lens to 35mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 90mm (if you prefer cropping as you shoot instead of in post).
