My heart is broken.

I bought my Q on the end of last month, and a couple of days later, I was told that the Q2 will be released in this March...

you might still be within time to return it if anything. maybe they will give small leeway since the Q2 is coming

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Says his location is China.

Return policies in Asia are much stricter if existant at all.

RE: the Q2 using SL batteries.

I wouldn't mind this at all, since I have a spare SL battery laying around in my dry cabinet, but this would imply that they designed a new SD card door which I don't see in any of the leaked photos. The SL battery is quite a bit larger (and thicker) than the existing Q/CL battery, and the SD card would have to go in from the other side of the camera, which is also doubtful considering how large the lens is.

Yes SD is still on the bottom, which is covered with rubber as with the SL  

SL battery on the right part as the previous one. 

Sole SD card on the left part behind a sealed door. No side access, neither dual card slot sadly. For that just wait the SL2 in a few months.

Same OLED EVF as the CL, also confirmed.

Hmm I’ve tried it s couple of times, but can’t really remember what I think of it

That would mean a lower resolution than in the Q?!

That’s a fairly anemic resolution EVF for a supposedly 47MP sensor. I’d hope they at least update the refresh rate to 120Hz then.

Thought or hoped the Q2 will get the EVF from the Panasonic S1R (technically).

I think we can expect that. Leica won't decrease the resolution of the EVF. It might be technically the same OLED technology like in the CL, but with different specs.

The sensor resolution already gives a hint that some hardware is shared with the Panasonic thus i expect the same for the EVF. It is also logical regarding cost reduction

I got an email from Leica only yesterday pushing me to buy the “old” Q or Q-P and blah blah how good they are

i think its seriously disingenuous and pretty much has turned me off

I would think that both Q models will coexist in the market for a time, at least. Not everyone wants or needs the higher resolution sensor.

lol what price 

[dancook]

I have a slight worry moving from Q to Q2 might be like moving from M9 to M10.

Sure you get technological advancement, but I love the contrasty character of the  Q

Dan, live with that which works for you rather than stepping into the unknown or unproven.

But on the other hand, the Q2 "one camera to rule them all..."
