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

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.

sell it and never come back to it.I had Leica M10, M10R, Q, Q2, Q3, Q343 and SL2S (x2) and never even close they were up to performance of X1D II, I am not even going to compare them with X2D II. I wish I was smarter and never even tried Leica, they are same full frame as other manufacturers with di

They're not going to try and compete with anyone but leica with this, from a specs and quality standpoint. They aren't going to care about competing with sony, fuji, ricoh, orcanon price-wise. Nikons success was built off of creating a VERY compelling alternative to leica, and this is their opportun

Interesting! I'm likely buying my first Leica this weekend, the Q3 Monochrom (I am deep in the Canon ecosystem so the Q3M is my "change of pace" camera). One of the things that I've been reading about (I do deep research before spending this kind of money) is how it does seem like Leica's finish can

Okay, we agree to disagree. It's interesting & relevant to me because, it's quite likely that counterfeit & 3rd party batteries are assembled in the same factories- hence their pricepoint, origin, & reliability. Customers in Amazon can't be all bots; there are pictures of swelling & new batteries fa
