Thanks for watching. 🙌 Do you have a Leica Q3, and has it met your expectations?

Own Q3, M11, M11 and M11M and I have to say that my cameras perform good. I probably had the freezing issue with all of them combined 4 times. Remove and replace battery and it goes back to normal. How ever I wouldn’t get a Q3 as getting the best compact camera out there. I think an A7C R would give you much more versatility and cost you a fraction of the Q3 even when you need to buy lenses for it. The M11 system has been my main system now after years of owning various Sony bodies

I have a Q since 2016 and now I am contemplating between this camera and a Fuji GRX 50s ii with 45mm F/2.8 lens. I am very undecided. If there is anything that holds me back and go for the Leica is the 'tricks' that Leica does. For instance with the battery. At least with the Q you could by a Panasonic battery which was as good as the Leica battery. Its not about the money, its about the principle.

Having shot a Q2 for two years as ‘my camera’ alongside my Sonys which only get used for work, I fell in love with it. I sold the Q2, and got an X100vi, as I’d loved the previous version, the V. A day in, I knew I’d made a massive mistake, and although I tried to like it, I sold it and got the Q3, and I’ve never been happier with a camera. If I didn’t have weddings, I’d sell the lot and just have the Q3. You mention GFX, I’ve had one- and nothing, nothing compares to the Q3. Flip screen is great, EVF is brilliant,it’s just , for me- perfect.

Tested the Q3 in store yesterday with 2.0.1 firmware. It's still slow to turn on/off. On takes 3 seconds, off around 7 seconds. Wifi app connection requires tapping 2-3 times before it connects without an error. Delete button from the menu didn't work (only touchscreen delete worked). There are quite a lot of problems for such an expensive camera. Strangely, both Q1 and Q2 both turn on/off within a 1-1.5 seconds.

Yeah, the Q3 is really not the fastest camera to power on and off. Strangely, for me, turning it off sometimes took more than 10 seconds. I think it somehow gets stuck on the SD card. Unfortunately, you can't test it since the camera doesn't have integrated storage. Anyway, Leica still has many errors to fix before all the kinks are ironed out.

Oft hört man ja, das die Leica DNGs nicht viel bearbeitet werden müssen und klasse aussehen. Was mich bei Leica anspricht ist, dass man die Tiefen ziemlich pushen kann, ohne die Farben der DNGs negativ zu beeinflussen - zumindest hatte ich das bei einem Review so gesehen.

I saw on Samuel Streetlife that the lens, in its uncorrected state, seems to be more like 26mm. In corrected JPGs, it should actually be around 28mm. In the side-by-side tests, at least, I had exactly the same field of view as the Nokton, so I would say it's pretty accurate at 35mm.

The SL 3 is going to be a literal brick. The SL2 was the heaviest camera I've ever held. In comparison, you hardly notice the Q3 on a strap. The A7CR and Q3 are already very different. I would only recommend the Sony if you need a system camera; otherwise, the Q3 is much better, especially because of the lens.

I think it has something to do with the fact that the Q doesn't just have focus by wire like every other lens where you simply flip the switch, but it has a real physical focus system.

Leica actually has a look on their photos... you can feel the depth in the photos

That's true, the 28mm lens of the Q is simply incredibly good.

to be honest , the Autofocus of my nikon Zf is much better than the Q3

That could be true. The Zf has indeed received Nikon's latest autofocus algorithms. I think, however, that the Q3 performs similarly to the Lumix S5II, and it is almost on par with the Sony Alpha 7IV. The Zf is a camera that I would also like to test sometime.

Yeah, somehow not. At least not the digital ones. I don't have any problems at all with my M6.

@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel sadly both have a long history but I don’t know why they can’t catch up with canon or even sony it became famous with their good products from 2019 where many companies lost a lot because of covid-19, I mean okay Hasselblad cameras are medium format and everything with it is harder than normal but come on Leica your cameras are full frame like the others.
