Improved Battery Life and Weather Sealed Durability
New IP52-certified weather sealing protects the camera from outside forces like dust, rain and water spray. Ensuring photographers can shoot under challenging environmental conditions. The BPSCL4 battery adoption from the Leica SL increases battery life by 30% more than the original Leica Q, with built-in rubber gasket further helping to seal the Q2. Usually reserved for pro-level cameras such as the Leica SL and S, placing the Q2 at a similar level of resilience. This is especially helpful under the challenging environmental conditions that come with photography.
