"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)."
"It's basically a spec-for-spec match of the standard Q3, but it's the first Q camera to get Leica's Content Credentials - embedding a digital signature into the files to verify authenticity. The other big difference is that the monochromatic sensor has a higher maximum ISO setting of 200,000. The color Q3 and Q3 43 cameras max out at ISO 100,000. Design-wise, the new model is much like other recent Monochroms."
The Q3 Monochrom is a monochrome variant of the Q3 that records only black-and-white photos and video using a modified 60-megapixel full-frame sensor. The camera retains the Q3's weather-resistant compact body, fixed 28mm f/1.7 Summilux lens with image stabilization, Adobe DNG RAW capture, and video up to 8K/30p or 4K/60p. A digital zoom button provides in-camera cropping to common focal lengths. The Monochrom gains Leica Content Credentials for embedded file authentication and offers a higher maximum ISO of 200,000 compared with the color Q3 models.
