Advertisement Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Hi frame-it, Take a look here Q2 47 mps, Dirt & Drip proof & new EVF (FWIW!). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

I expect the Q2 to use the same battery as the Q and not allow charging while in the camera. It’s not a big deal to me. ... If we get 47MPS, Maestro III, OLED-EVF, 4k-Video ..., it's a big challenge for the aged BP-DC12. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
38wadcutter Posted February 22, 2019 Share #264 Posted February 22, 2019 How will the Q2 EVF and rear screen handle the crop for 75mm? Any ideas if something will be different than on the Q because those 75mm crop lines are going to be really small. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And UHS-II card slot. I agree. One of the unknowns for me to learn about. No camera is perfect. I’m sure Leica has worked hard to optimize power mgmt while keeping the Q2 the same size as the Q. I hope they were successful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon m Posted February 22, 2019 Share #266 Posted February 22, 2019 That Ricoh takes very nice pictures. Personally though I still prefer the Q based on what I see in that video. I wouldn't say one or the other is "better" just produce a different feel/mood. Hard to say definitively though as the video is obviously a professionally produced and curated product where-as most of the Q pics I've seen are amateur - mine, here, Insta, for instance.

Yeah I was never a fan of the images shot by a GR. Somehow they all look the same. Over-sharpened with high contrast and underexposed. Often monochrome with dark tones. Color photos have a blue-ish tint. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an EVF and electronics can manipulate the frame/vision. I think you are envisioning the M mount with the frames lines for a 90mm lens. That doesn't have to be the case with the new Q.

SchneiderPetr Posted February 23, 2019 Share #271 Posted February 23, 2019 OT, Ricoh has made one of the, maybe the best camera transfer from analog to digital with the GR, in my opinion even better then Leica with the M. Where are the digital Nikon TI's, and my biggest desire - a digital Plaubel Makina 67(0). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M!! Posted February 23, 2019 Share #274 Posted February 23, 2019 Q2's US MSRP will be around $5995. Q-P MSRP is $4995. Q MSRP is $3995 now. That Leica Ginza post nails it. Leica Q-P in japan is ¥ 658,800. their rumored price is around ¥ 800,000 refers to a 20% markup above the Q-P. escapes me why someone just did a currency conversation in the earlier post.

Ridiculous money, Leica needs to be careful it doesn’t cross the boundary between expensive and desirable to silly and embarrassing, if I saw someone with a q2 over their shoulder at that price I’d feel sorry for them and move on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Richardson Posted February 23, 2019 Share #276 Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) I know we all know this, but Leica's pricing scheme is ALWAYS ridiculous. I am sure that you and many look at it as 6000 dollars for a compact camera with competitors for half the price, but they think, wow, we are giving them a 28mm summilux with a camera for less than the cost of a 28mm summilux alone. Threading the needle of keeping the price low enough that people will still buy, while at the same time keeping it high enough for their bottom line is tricky. I am currently in the same boat with the S...given the Fuji GFX series, X1D, S1R and so on, I am hoping that the new S3 will be more competitively priced, but I am, unfortunately, not holding my breath.

hillavoider Posted February 23, 2019 Share #277 Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) I agree about the f1.7 lens being included but still, the game has changed, every manufacture has a camera as good if not better for half the price, when you consider its pretty much all Panasonic on the inside of that beautiful leica skin Edited February 23, 2019 by hillavoider Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
