Advertisement Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Hi Daandeluxe, Take a look here Q2 47 mps, Dirt & Drip proof & new EVF (FWIW!). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Maybe less dynamic range, but 4 years of sensor development should take care of that? Slightly heavier, but I’ll take double battery life instead. Physical design is only improvements IMO: better on/off/shutter button, weather sealing, lockable diopter, button on right hand wheel, wider macro ring. DPR reports lower native ISO (50) and thus increased dynamic range (Leica claims 13 stops). Another addition to Q2 is the 75 mm mode. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krooj Posted March 7, 2019 Share #543 Posted March 7, 2019 Hmmm... I feel a big...meh about this camera, but maybe I'll have to reserve my reaction until I get to see one in-person. It's... fine, but I'm more excited to see what comes about with the latest generation of APS-C ILCs. Sony will likely set the standard with the replacement for the 6500, but hopefully that means all the other manufacturers will inherit better sensors and viewfinders and do the software properly (I'm looking at you, Fuji & Leica).

If you liked the Q, hard to see why you would not like this one, assuming it performs as billed. I cant say whether it is worth spending the money to upgrade, but in its class of cameras, pretty hard to call it meh, I think. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbripley Posted March 7, 2019 Share #546 Posted March 7, 2019 Just put in a down payment to be first in line at the local Leica shop in Stockholm. They had no idea when they would get in stock, only that they’d know 2-3 days in advance and I’d get the second camera delivered (the first being the demo unit). They gave me a decent trade-in offer, but I think I’ll brave the second market to get a better price. It’ll be interesting to see how the second hand price develops during the next month.

jbripley Posted March 7, 2019 Share #548 Posted March 7, 2019 One thing I haven’t seen mentioned here, but was in one of the (probably red dot) video reviews was that the original Q is now discontinued and will only be available while supplies last. Don’t know if that applies to the Q-P, but I suspect not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Q Posted March 7, 2019 Share #549 Posted March 7, 2019 I put my order in ad I've been watching a few Youtube videos. One reviewer mentioned that it shares the same battery as the Panasonic S1/R. Not sure if true but those cost nearly half of the Leica SL batteries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have to drop the price of the QP I assume. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am for sure going to order one though it does give me a reason to pause. BTW Jono’s review is outstanding and as usual his images are all amazing i thought it does have some srabilization for photo. heard both sides so not sure. below was from leica site Optical compensation system for photo and video recordings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, what is the difference? B&H writes that Q2 has OIS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWU_85 Posted March 7, 2019 Share #557 Posted March 7, 2019 Regarding weather sealing: Has or Will Leica publish the IP Code rating for the camera? IP = Ingress Protection which defines the camera's, or other electronics, ability to resist water and dust etc.. For more information see Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCJ Posted March 7, 2019 Share #558 Posted March 7, 2019 yeah, I see that the price of the QP has actually dropped here in the US too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
