That isn't what you buy the camera for. As for the huge files being 'overwhelming' well that just depends on your computer/workflow. 16MB JPG / 80MB DNGs is no problem for me and I really appreciate the resolution increase. YMMV. The file sizes can easily be reduced with lossless compression from Adobe or inside Lightroom. This is well covered in another Q2 thread. The post compression size is right around 50MB.

nicci78 Posted March 20, 2019 Share #42 Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) In France the used market is not flooded by original Q. And my Leica store (the biggest in France) even called me last week, to buy one. The second batch arriving this week is not fully sold. Waiting list is not long enough. Maybe not the success they are waiting for. They confirmed me that most of their customers having a Q, did not mind upgrading yet. And some just want to wait for SL2. Actually they have no Q traded in for Q2. Very surprised about that. Edited March 20, 2019 by nicci78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 15 used Q's on UK eBay and 14 on FR eBay - so I guess, by that measure, the UK is not flooded either. Though, MPB has 12 which seem considerable for them Edited March 20, 2019 by dancook Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMagoo Posted March 20, 2019 Share #44 Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Leica Saint-Honoré told me they sold all 30 copies first day. Leica Lille & Marseille got a few Qs turned in. Anyways I don't think Q1 owners are the primary target. Q2 is in the top most popular cameras over at DPReview. I think the fact it is the first high MP full frame Leica is kind of a big deal and the crop modes now make more sense than ever.. Oh and it also shoots Cinema 4K (albeit in auto-only 😡) which marketing wise opens it up more. Edited March 20, 2019 by MisterMagoo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 4 used french Leica Q in eBay France anyway. But maybe more traction since last week : 7 traded in and sell by the eleven french Leica stores or shops 14 used Q through leboncoin.fr (french Craiglist) Anyway kudos for Leica, this time Q2 launched was exceptional. Very nice availability. No stock problem at all. They still receive them regularly. By the way, only 4 british used Leica Q on sell on eBay UK. Really not flooded.
