@Alxndrzlkrnn Жыл бұрын

@@toneyf I don't think its the issue with the 60mpx resolution of the sensor but the ergonomic of the camera itself. It's much more comfortable to shoot vertically for portraiture when the screen can be flipped like fujifilm's. I don't like a flipped out screen for photography tho and it's not suitable to use a flipped out screen on a photo first camera like the Q3.

But I also wish they came out with a 35mm edition. 28mm while great is just too similar to my iPhone when it comes to competing as an edc. Having said that obviously the look between the lens and full frame means its different. Anyways exciting times and going to watch it closely.

@TeteRecinos Жыл бұрын

🐅 Them going with their newest processor for the Q3 makes me think that Leica is leaving the “lack of features are compensated by incredible image quality” philosophy behind. The Q3 will probably become their best selling camera yet. The new SL3 will most likely lack features that the new mirrorless flagships from the other brands will have but at the same time it’ll be so much more useable than the 601 and SL2(S) that it won’t matter and result in a lot of sales for the SL system (I hope). We live in exciting times indeed. Great video as always!

@GajanBalan Жыл бұрын

@sharonleibel Жыл бұрын

If you look at Leica as 2 "parts" and not one, It's easier to see: They are not "leaving it". They have it, in the "modern lines": The "functionality and features" exist in the Q and SL lines, Which are less "traditional". The "Less is more" is the M.

@TeteRecinos Жыл бұрын

@@sharonleibel totally agree with you. What I meant to say was that the SL/Q (and S) are behind other similar offerings from the other brands but you could always count on the image quality. Now we are getting image quality + more modern features on the AF lines from Leica.

@sharonleibel Жыл бұрын

@@TeteRecinos I agree. I think the M is a “don’t touch the classic camera” line. And they invest in modernization in other lines: Q, SL, S. But as you said, they are advancing in some areas, but insist on staying behind in other areas, sometime more important. For some odd reasons.

@user-hk4yl1ib3t Жыл бұрын

Great video. I have been using x100v for more than three years and was was waiting for the Q3 as an upgrade. I love x100v as an everyday camera to shoot my kids and family. While x100v is such a fun camera, at times I felt it was a little too slow with its focus and metering. Do you think when compared to x100v, the Q3 is more responsive overall and quicker with autofocus?

Great review. One negative you didn't mention was the absence of audio-in/out ports. Not a deal breaker for me, as mic'ing the talent and using an external audio recorder will alway be better, but many will bemoan the absence of a pair of audio in/out ports as a negative for those that want to use the Q3 for video. I wouldn't even mention the absence of an audio port for a Leica Q, as they are usually photography-centric cameras, but the great video features of this camera mean it has to be raised as an issue. Even in my case as an external recorder user, the absence of an audio port means no timecode syncing. Again, not an issue for most users, but it does come up frequently for video creators. All that said, I love the camera. All I need to do now is to start saving up...

Gajan, I have never used a Leica before and I am planning to pre order a Q3. And I am switching from FujiFilm X100v. The x100v allowed me to shoot with one hand, in the aperture priority mode. I could adjust aperture and exposure compensation using the front and rear command dials. I was wondering if the Q3/Q2 have an option to set the aperture via a control (a button or a dial) other than the control ring on the lens? I looked this up online and on the user manual, but could not get an answer.

🦎 There’s enough to like about the Q3 as a photographer’s camera that I’ve succumbed to temptation. M doesn’t tempt me (I like to have AF available) and neither does SL (I’m invested in other system for that kind of system), but Q is its own class. A full flippy screen would be nice if it meant that I could hide the screen when not needed. The video-related features do nothing for me - I think Dante specifically mentioned amateur videographers in one of the lower circles.

🐺Nice review. The heart lusts this camera (or a Q2, or Q), but for me I know it's not a match. 28mm is just too wide for my style of shooting. It's a great bit of kit though.

I hear ya! A 35mm version would definitely disrupt the market.

Original Q is still excellent
