Advertisement Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Hi dancook, Take a look here Q2 47 mps, Dirt & Drip proof & new EVF (FWIW!). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
nicci78 Posted February 26, 2019 Share #322 Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) From what I’ve been told : Q2 will be a huge success cheap, yes. As cheap as a premium Leica can be. Not much more than actual Q. Which stays on sale for a little bit less Widely available : already in production in good quantity. All rumors pictures are true. 47MP true. Weather sealing true. CL menu and UI style. Same lens But no more cheap batteries. New weathersealed one à la SL : push to release. New thumb rest in option. Maybe same handgrip. Huge jump in build quality (unibody case, as predicted) but heavier though. Just picture it as a small SL with the Q design. Huge jump in IQ : DR, ISO, resolution, etc...

nicci78 Posted February 26, 2019 Share #326 Posted February 26, 2019 Within the month of March. Very fast. They do not want to reiterate Q launch issues, with anemic quantities. The Q2 has to be a success, you want one, you get one ASAP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

X1D has now sold, with Q2 so imminent it's tempting to put it on ebay now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicci78 Posted February 26, 2019 Share #329 Posted February 26, 2019 One more thing. Q2 battery will be exactly the same as SL. Q2 will need a lot of power SL owner rejoice, you can share them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott kirkpatrick Posted February 26, 2019 Share #331 Posted February 26, 2019 The SL battery isn't cheap (no 3rd party supply as yet -- this may change), but it provides good water sealing. The battery compartment on Panasonic, CL, and Sony bodies is known to be a serious moisture entry point, seen in tests by Imaging Resource and a teardown at LensRentals.

Fedro Posted February 26, 2019 Share #333 Posted February 26, 2019 I guess we keep spare SL batteries for the Q2, because when the SL2 comes out batteries may change too .. these specs look great Nicci. I am tempted but let's see Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicci78 Posted February 26, 2019 Share #334 Posted February 26, 2019 Maybe I should wait for the QL (or whatever its name will be) I would hate to buy a Q2 in 2019, if a QL will be released in 2020 😫 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCJ Posted February 26, 2019 Share #338 Posted February 26, 2019 I had a pretty good deal (both in terms of price and tax free) on the Q-P that I jut bought a few weeks ago (my first Leica) but it was burning my soul that I was buying a 4 year old camera when a 2019 model of the same one is allegedly about to hit the market. So I just now returned my 4 week old Q-P and am Leica-less again, just as I was for my entire life before last month. If I didn’t have the clean return option, I (being an amateur) would have a pretty hard time justifying the upgrade, but given the choice at this point, I think it a clear answer! Bring on the Q2. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I’ve read about all the great improvements, I would have done the same as you. When you get a Q2 you’ll have the latest technology and can enjoy it without any reservations for years to come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m impressed that you were able to negotiate a (no reason given) return option to be used after 4 week and a good tax free deal. Unless the item was faulty, I don’t know a dealer that could/would agree to that in the U.K. Our taxes aren’t flexible and returned goods wouldn’t / couldn’t then be classed as “new” , even if the goods were unmarked. You must have added some shots. What country are you in? First impressions suggest you will get exactly what you want without any risk. Nice if you can get it! Afterthought : I think such a deal might be possible here provided the purchase was via mail order/internet, and not directly in person in a shop. Not sure about tax free though.
