I love it that I could bring a Leica Q3, but not an old Canon Rebel. :)

I currently have a Q3/43, M10M, DLux-8, iiia, and just bought an M6 reissue. And I can honestly say that none of them are worth what I paid if I just want a camera to simply take pictures. That said, the feelings I get from using these cameras - especially the M6, is worth every cent. When I use the

Picked up my brand new Q3 yesterday, and had an excellent experience with the Leica store crew. Went to start playing today and was immediately met with a message telling me I need to buy another battery to access full functionality! This is simple my man... what you do is you take yourself, your ca

TLDR version: I own both. Buy the Q3 43, it costs more but that’s because it’s much, much better. I wanted a decent quality, carry everywhere camera - better image quality and better ergonomics than an iPhone but lighter than a Z8 with lens. I’d previously had an X100T, but had never really got on w

I’ve been down that exact path. I started with the X-T5, sold it for a Leica Q3, then moved to the Q3 43, and eventually landed on a Hasselblad X2D II. Each move made sense at the time, and I’m genuinely grateful I was able to afford those moves, but it was still gear acquisition syndrome doing its

I had done a similar journey, but I am not sure it helps you as it sounds like a very personal experience. I kept my Zf, because I love its looks, smaller size and feel. Plus it is the best with adaptors to use my eclectic collection of old and vintage lenses (Inc Leica lenses). Given the relative l

Try one and see. I thought the same thing then I got my hands on a Leica M2 and instantly saw why. Right now I have hella different cameras all brands and the one I reach for the most is the Leica Q3. My canon and sony cameras beat it by a lot in terms of autofocus and features, but the Q3 is just a

I’m not sure I understand this post. If you need a wider depth of field, don’t shoot at F1.7. I have a Q3 and a GR IV, I can tell you the Leica sensor, as you might expect from a full frame sensor at its price point, is incomparably better than the Ricoh in low light scenarios. For the scenario you’

For Leica while some models do indeed gain in value over time, those are limited ed models and the expectation to be in generally mint condition. For a full time travel camera use and if it’s the the standard M11P or Q3 cameras it’s going to be an immediate hit of 15% minimum once you step out of th

For being a ““pro”” company their repair policies and repair times are abysmal once we had a guy with a brand new q3 come in with dust in the view finder and it took them 3 months to fix it we ended up giving him a new one and selling the one that came back from leica as a open box Edit: Leica did n
