True, I probably shouldn't be judging, but a lot of GR images seem inspired by Daido Moriyama. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Hi Mr.Q, Take a look here Q2 47 mps, Dirt & Drip proof & new EVF (FWIW!). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
mdroe Posted February 23, 2019 Share #282 Posted February 23, 2019 I don’t know whether this adds to the discussion but I’ve compared top views of the Q and Q2 and notice: - the hot shoe has moved towards the on-off button - the viewfinder has changed and moved away from the on-off button - the zoom lock dial looks like that from the CL, so one can switch program by pressing the centre button - the video button has disappeared. My only other thought is whether viewfinder frame lines could be replaced by a viewfinder zoom, when framing at 50mm or 75mm? Mat Welcome, dear visitor!

Mr.Q Posted February 23, 2019 Share #283 Posted February 23, 2019 4 hours ago, M!! said: 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. Hmm... why are a lot of folks assuming the Q2 will cost more than the Q-P? When the M10 came out, it cost LESS than the M240-P. The M Monochrome currently costs $700 MORE than a M10. The Q-P is a special edition with premium pricing. Given Leica's recent pricing strategy, the Q2 should cost slightly more than a Q and less than a Q-P.

SchneiderPetr Posted February 23, 2019 Share #284 Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) Are this real images from nokishita or at leat of a prototype of the Q2? How will the (retractable) knob for diopter correction work, press and ? Edited February 23, 2019 by SchneiderPetr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdroe Posted February 23, 2019 Share #285 Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) The Q2 image comes from Leica Rumors and the Q from Google. I assume diopter adjustment is press and turn. I anticipate single, continuous and movie drive mode will be selected via the programmable zoom lock button, as with the CL.

The logic of evolving the control dial to that of the CL, and consequent removal of single/continuous/movie buttons, leads me to believe this is an image of the Q2 and not a prototype or fake.

I do not own or have immediate access to a CL. How is that button used on that camera? Can you see how it would integrate well with the Q menu system? It’s fun to ponder these things and try and figure out what is likely the case. We’ll know for sure on Q2 day - March 6th. Just 11 days away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll know for sure on Q2 day - March 6th. Just 11 days away. I don’t have access to (and have not seen in the past) a Q menu but Jono Slack has a good description of the two programmable control dials (and FN button) on the CL, under the sub-heading “FN” in his review: http://www.slack.co.uk/leica-cl.html I have the two control dials on my CL programmed and set for focus magnification (when using an M lens) and exposure compensation. When using an autofocus TL lens my two control dials control f-stop and exposure compensation. All this makes the camera a delight to use, with WB or film style programmed through the rear FN button. It appears Leica could introduce the Q2 with one control wheel and one rear FN button. That makes sense as the lens is autofocus and f-stop is controlled on the lens, with a separate focus lock button. This would leave the control dial to manage exposure compensation or another programmed function. Likewise the programmable FN button. I hope others will comment as I am not an expert on either camera Matthew Edited February 23, 2019 by mdroe 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
