I’m not somebody who will change their current camera to the next iteration, I still have a Nikon Z7, but for sure my Q2 will be sold and a Q3 bought as a quick as possible. The upgrades are amazing. One thing all reviews seem to miss is the new BSI sensor with triple resolution, drop the resolution to 18mp and with pixel binning low light shooting will be another level - way better than the Q2

Hi, thanks for the great review. I have a question regarding editing the leica images via Capture One, if I used a crop while shooting, does this crop apply on the raw in capture one or do I only have this cropped version on a jpeg? would love to see it there like I had the intension while shooting it.

@stefansmuts8882 Жыл бұрын

Awesome review Faizal! How usable would you say those crop modes are when comparing to say a 26mp Fujifilm? I use a X-E4 and a 18mm F2 and 35mm F1.4. Wondering if the crop mode would match the 35mm F1.4 for detail. The math says one should get just over 15mp at 50mm crop with around about an F3.4 equivalent depth of field. What do you reckon, will it match, fall short or out perform the X-E4 with the 35mm F1.4 for detail? Depth of field would obviously fall short by a bit more than a stop. Anyway, looking forward to the photo-walk video. Cheers Stefan

I switched to Capture One a few years back and have loved it. Also, as a original Q user, I'm looking forward to the prices dropping on the Q2. I'm still wondering if I should just save a little more and get the Q3 though. The Q3 looks incredible.

@8BitEpidemic Жыл бұрын

I've been wondering the same thing. With all the Q2 sales lately it's been tempting, but for just a bit more we could have a Q3. Personally, it seems worth it to me for the Q3. It's really just a matter of convincing myself to spend the money.

Kudos to Leica for capitalizing on a market opportunity left by the scarcity of the 100V. I’m still surprised they’ve gone with a flip screen and disappointed to see such a wide prime lens on it. Sorry if I missed it in the video, but how’s the separation in “punched in mode” wide open?

@artemlezhnev826 Жыл бұрын

It’s mentioned in the specs that digital zoom (crop) for 35mm is approx. 1.25x, for 50mm - 1.8x, for 75mm - 2.7x and for 90mm - 3.2x. It means that the resolution for 35mm should be 48MP, for 50mm - 33.3MP, for 75mm - 22.2MP and for 90mm - 18.75MP. Can you confirm it? )))

As much as I like the improvements in the auto focus especially, and the tilt screen, viewfinder. The main issue for me is you still can’t get the separation from a digital 28 mm that you can with the actual primes in equivalent focal lengths. This stands out a lot in some of the images you took. For me I’ll stick with my primes. Plus I can buy a Fuji XT5 and get three major primes and still have money left over. 🖖

@FotosyMas. Жыл бұрын

You get significantly better image quality with the Q3. Other than that, the X100V offers more with built in flash and ND filter. The Q cameras are glorified Panasonic cameras hidden inside Leica shells, together with Sony sensors. This is not necessarily a bad thing, however some people might not feel comfortable ditching out $6000 for a parts bin camera with a Leica logo.
