Should you buy it?
Buy the Q3 Monochrom if you shoot only black and white and want the best possible files: reviewers praised its phenomenal image quality, clean high-ISO results, wide dynamic range, the versatile 28mm f/1.7 lens with macro mode, IP52 weather sealing and gorgeous build. Skip it if you ever want color, because it can't take color photos. It's very expensive, highlights can blow out easily, battery life is underwhelming and there's no focus joystick.
Best for
Dedicated black-and-white photographers.
Not for
