This is a superb and highly detailed introduction to the Q3. Thank you for this. I don't think my pockets can yet stretch from my current Q2 to the Q3 but at least I know what to expect when I'm ready! Oh, and the Q3 DOES have perspective control now. That's the feature I was hoping to see in the Q2 firmware upgrade but it didn't happen so good news there. I like the tilt screen as well. This is a solid upgrade from Leica as far as I can tell.

Thank you for a review sufficiently inspiring to encourage me to go out and buy one. Getting hold of one proved elusive but with a bit of luck and a bit of travel I did manage to buy one- the last piece in a camera shop in Annecy, France. Having set it up I am now trying to figure out the menus. A tutorial from you for the first time Q3 users would be huge help

@daviddb4858 Жыл бұрын

Great review of an amazing camera! A couple quick questions: 1) What are the pixel counts (MP's) for the crop values (35, 50, 75 & 90) at each of the still photo resolutions (60, 36, & 18)? 2) Can you reposition the digital crop from the center of the screen (for example when making a portrait)? 3) Do you recommend a protection filter? and...Does adding a filter cause vignetting when using the lens hood? Yes, tutorials would be great, one for the still photo mode, and one for video mode! The Q3 looks like a great everyday carry (EDC) camera, as long as you have a nice bag or satchel to carry it in. Thanks, as always.

@mathphotographer Жыл бұрын

There is a detailed table in the Q3 manual on page 126 which shows all crop resolutions for L, M and S settings. The manual can be downloaded here: leica-camera.com/en-int/photography/cameras/q/q3-black/technical-specification On your second question, the crop sits always in the center of the frame and you cannot recompose and move the crop frame. On your third question: I use a Leica original UV filter on the lens and the lens hood fits perfectly on top (over) it.

Thank you for posting such a well prepared and be delivered video about this new camera from Leica. It’s so refreshing when the presentation is given at a conversation pace and the audience has time to assimilate the information being presented. If there is time in a subsequent offering it would be beneficial to prospective purchaser new to the Q to see a series of images which compare the relationship between the perceived comparative depth of field for images taken in the Q2 cropped method compared to images taken at their true focal length with an interchangeable lens camera at the same focal lengths, shutter speeds and iso. A discussion around the above would help address questions about how comparable, if at all, the digitally cropped image looks compared to the image taken with a native lens of the same aperture. Kindest Regards.

Thank you Math for this video! By far the best video I've seen on this camera! Two questions: - The Q3 has a maximum recording time of 29 minutes. Is this still the case with an Atomos? - Does the Q3 have an external microphone output? If not, it's really a big lack (unacceptable). Thanks a lot!

For the microphone there is usually only an input, and the output is always for headphones or amplifier, preliminary or final.

Any opinions? 😅 I miss the rangefinder style on the X2D even though it is excellent ergonomically.

You can upgrade via firmware file on SD-card, inserting and starting the process, or, much more convenient, connect the Q3 to the Leica Fotos App and installing the new firmware via WiFi or "USB-C to Lightning" cable connections. Works both flawless.

Although it is akready exceptional that you indicate some differences between the 3 MP selections, I would appreciate some more detail such as what do you mean by best performance ratio for 36MP and low noise for 18MP, do you mean on the same level as the SL2-S?

@mathphotographer Жыл бұрын

Many thanks Geert. What I mean by that is that in L-resolution the Q3 has 14 stops of dynamic range. If you choose M- or S-resolution you get 15 stops of dynamic range so a bit better performance in low light. I am working on a demonstration for a video on that topic since it involves the new pixel binning algorithm from Leica which is very interesting.

Thanks for all the highlights, great video! Quick question for anyone who has the Q2 vs Q/Q-P...I just got the Q3 delivered yesterday and also have a Q-P. I find that on the Q3, there is a slight 'lag' between when i start turning the manual focus ring and when the EVF/LCD displays the magnified view. On the Q-P, there is almost no lag at all - it's basically instant. I find this a bit annoying on the Q3 as it slightly impacts my ability to capture a photo at a precise moment after nailing focus via the magnified view. For anyone who has a Q3/Q2, do you have a similar experience compared to the Q? Thanks!

@mathphotographer Жыл бұрын

May I ask if you have confirmed that the video digital zoom does some form of upscaling? Or how is it done?

@GillesQuennevilleGQ Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your review. Does the Q3 have the same long exposure limitation like the Q2 ?

I agree I had hoped he would have gone into that. It would be great if it at least matched the ability of the SL-2.

Thanks for the presentation does the camera has a memory card if not where the pictures are stores

@mathphotographer Жыл бұрын

The camera uses the SD card format. There is only one slot (not two as in the SL2) and there is also no internal memory as we have it in the M11.

Beautiful camera, no discussion about that. But that price… you get a robbing target instant in some parts of the world. Thx for the review!

@mathphotographer Жыл бұрын

Expensive, yes. But a really good travel camera :) Sometimes when traveling in not so safe areas I put a black sphere sticker on the Leica red dot, it then catches less attention.

if there is pixel binning for the simulation crop, why does the raw files present a full 28mm fov? does the camera record 2 of the same image? pixel binning for jpeg and full record for raw? am I missing something out?

@mathphotographer Жыл бұрын

Let me try to clarify, Nicholas. We have to distinguish the L/M/S resolution settings and the digital crop (focal length simulation). What you saw in Lightroom in the video was the digital zoom and this is a true crop which uses only a certain center part of the sensor. Pixel Binnig refers to the L/M/S resolutions only as shown in the menu in the video. Means, if you shoot in M-size resolution, the whole sensor is read-out and pixels are binned into groups for better dynamic range and low light sensitivity.

Thank you very much. I was going to stay with my Q2, which I love, but you have me thinking of upgrading. One question: is the 60 mg less forgiving with camera shake than the 47 mg of the Q2?

@mathphotographer Жыл бұрын

Its ok. I will post coming Saturday a video on dynamic range, pixel binning and high ISO as well as hand-hold shooting. This will finally convince you :)
