nicci78 Posted February 28, 2019 Share #401 Posted February 28, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I wonder why they lie to you like that ? Stupid thing to do, when launch is next Wednesday. Leica stores has invited their best customers for a preview party. Worst they openly discussed about it in store in front of several customers. With all the leaks (from Leica itself of course) spreading over the internet and a very über silent Jono Slack 😙 is there any chance to hide the Q2 ?

Advertisement Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Hi nicci78, Take a look here Q2 47 mps, Dirt & Drip proof & new EVF (FWIW!). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

IBIS gives you stabilization on 5-axis, could be combined with OIS, and gives the opportunity for the manufacturer to offer sensor-shift high-res mode. I was mainly pointing out that OIS should take less power than IBIS. Edited February 28, 2019 by hdmesa 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much does the larger battery to support the 4K power-draw weigh? How much does the heat sink or heat dissipation system (thicker internal body frame) weigh? How much weight was added to make the body larger to allow for more interior room for cooling (if they did do that). They obviously had to increase the battery size, but the jury is out on the second two items until we get the specs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disliked the M-10 the first time I handled one. Absolutely high quality, but the weight was a negative if one carried it around all day like I can easily do with my Q. I guess we’ll find out in just 7 days. Fun to dream and wonder. The Panasonic S1R has “Internal Shake Reduction” which they say works in conjunction with stabilized lenses. Will that be in the Q2? I think their "internal shake reduction" is their term for IBIS, and I don't think a true IBIS mechanism will fit in the Q2. But I would be glad to be wrong.

Qster Posted February 28, 2019 Share #409 Posted February 28, 2019 Is it really going to use an SL battery? I can't imagine an SL battery fitting into the Q Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nariza7 Posted February 28, 2019 Share #410 Posted February 28, 2019 its really hard for me to imagine fitting 47mp, heat dissipation for 4k, drip and dust proofing, and big battery into the current Leica Q body size. Wonder if there are any tradeoffs... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillavoider Posted March 1, 2019 Share #411 Posted March 1, 2019 Yeah I cannot see it either, a lumix s1r in a Q. Is 47mp confirmed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaemono Posted March 1, 2019 Share #412 Posted March 1, 2019 Yes, sort of. See post by one user in the link below who has/had it already. He usually gets stuff about two weeks before they are made available. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/62363351 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicci78 Posted March 1, 2019 Share #413 Posted March 1, 2019 47MP is confirmed. Do not hold your breath about 4K video. It will be minimum support, nothing like Lumix S1R Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if there are any tradeoffs... The RX1RII with 42MP is much smaller than the Q and it was released 3 years ago... 4K can be limited to 10-15 minutes to prevent heat, and weather sealing really only means rubber gaskets which hardly adds any size. I'm most curious about the reported SL battery and SD card placement. I'm tempted to buy the SL again 😎 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicci78 Posted March 1, 2019 Share #418 Posted March 1, 2019 4K may be cropped, such as Lumix S1R 3 hours ago, Mr.Q said: The RX1RII with 42MP is much smaller than the Q and it was released 3 years ago... Funny thing. What failed the RX1R II is its too small size and tiny bitsy battery. And non stabilized 35mm lens. Hard to sell for a 42MP camera. And annoying two steps retractable EVF.

What failed the RX1R series for me was No zone focusing distance gauge resets AF to infinity after waking up from the much needed power saving naps autofocus was too slow for spontaneous happenings. So it didn't make a very good street camera for how I like to do things. The closest you could get to zone focusing was to put the macro ring in such a position that the 'reset to infinity' put it where you needed it. The RX1R II advertised with 30% faster AF, but 30% faster than slow is still slow... so I never gave it a look in - and probably for the best. When I discovered the Q, it had a distance gauge - YAY - but the AF was so lightning fast I never ended up using it, and shot f1.7 most of the time instead.
