Hello All, This is my first post on the forum. I have few questions which may have been asked and replied to earlier but bear with me. I have been photographing for last almost 35 years. I am not a professional .Photography is my hobby. The Leica products that I own are couple of Trinovid binoculars which are inspite of heavy use for last twenty years are as good as new. Currently I have a Canon 5D-S and Canon 35mm 1.4 ii plus a 100mm macro lens. With the 50 MP resolution of the Canon 5D-S,the outfit is brilliant. I have no complaints. Lately ,due to my increased job commitments, many times I am leaving the DSLR back home and the DSLR is taken only on the longer trips few times a year and there too I am finding it rather tiresome to carry it around. I need a smaller and more lighter outfit and having known about Leica quality for decades,I was contemplating making a switch. I have few questions and I will be grateful if the experts out there guide me. I know these decisions are subjective but I would like to know your opinion so that it will help me to decide as I am fairly confused right now. Will it be better if I keep the existing Canon outfit,to be used sparingly, and complement it with a Leica Q? In the alternative, sell the Canon outfit and buy a Leica M240 with 35mm or 50 mm lens? If I take the second option,will the quality of image of M240 with Summilux 35 be comparable to the Canon outfit that I have? M240 will be more compact I sure ,but I am scared that I am not selling away a high resolution camera like the Canon 5D-S and the quality of M240 may not match it at all.Most of the switch stories so far I have read are about 5d Mark III,which is 24MP. To put a rider, its not that a non-professional like me must have a 50MP camera. i am extremely tempted to switch over to Leica M240 entirely,but for the above concern about the picture quality .I could add Leica Q to the existing outfit, but it means additional expense. I use the camera for landscapes, abstract,portraits,street and travel photography. Since in India it is not possible to rent a Leica to try it out ,please advice. Thank you in advance. N.Shah
