Like its color-capable cousin, the Q3 Monochrom features a 60MP BSI CMOS sensor with triple resolution technology, here omitting the Bayer and low-pass filters to double its light-gathering potential, increase sharpness, detail, and dynamic range, and reduce digital noise. The camera also retains the Q3's 8K video recording capabilities, high-resolution electronic viewfinder, and the built-in, macro-ready Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH. lens.

The same Maestro IV processor features an 8 GB buffer, enhancing the contrast-based autofocus and offering continuous shooting speeds of up to 15 fps.

Users of the Q2 Monochrom will appreciate the addition of a tiltable rear display and the acclaimed new SL-System user interface. Also, the Q3 Monochrom will be the first Q-series camera to feature Leica's Content Credentials technology, benefiting its use for reportage.

The Q3 Monochrom carries the series' same all-metal, weather-sealed, IP52-rated build. Like other Monochrom cameras, it omits the flashy red logo in favor of a subtle, smooth, and stealthy black paint finish.

Accompanying the new camera are several dedicated accessories, including four new camera straps, a red-light filter, and a wireless charging handgrip.
