Q3

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

Two things really. in a world where everything is made to the cheapest possible standards, everything breaks quickly, everything is getting smaller etc, I always seek out proper, made to last, well built items. I just love the robustness, weight, quality and care taken on Leica cameras. the experien

To be fair, the S9 didn't get the love it deserved. It's really an amazing camera, not perfect, but still amazing. I mean, it's really small, and on the video side, with a dummy battery in room temperature around 22 °C, I could record 1h20 in 6k open gate. Considering the size of the camera and the

It is technically cheaper than the Q3, but for a bit more money you'd get a Leica. Say what you want about them, but they are definitely a luxury brand with luxury build quality, looks and a certain brand cachet. And Leica glass. And Leica color science.

I think just maybe I am unlucky… With experience for users of Leica M11 series that I know, including the manager and some of my friends. Their camera has no any issues. Before I use the Leica M, I was a Q3 user(around 1.5 years ago), my Q3 also have some small issues like software freezes that can

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

Sounds like at least 3 people here have a bricked q3 from this update. With that sample size, that doesn’t sound like good odds for the global Leica q3 population. I was going to update last night, but might wait for a potential 4.0.1 hot fix from Leica first now.

Check out what used cameras Map and Kitamura Camera have on offer. I wouldn’t buy at the Leica official store in Tokyo as it’s a pricey place. I travel often with a Q2 and thing the size is quite good for every day carry. Also the weather sealing is helpful / reassuring for travel. The big sensor is

I have a Q3 43 and an X100V (and had a X100F). The X100 I will happy take to party and snap away (flash or no flash), not worrying about what happens to the camera. It is great at what it does, with the best natural skin tones of any camera I have owned and used (and that is a lot!). I don't use the
