Enjoy. 😎 Ive got the Q2 on order. Had a Q-P for a day, sent it back when Q2 was announced. Long wait expected. Keep thinking of calling a Leica dealer to see if I can buy Q-P at a good discount. At the moment uk prices make waiting for Q2 a Sensible financial decision. If I could save £1000 on Q2 price I could be tempted... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchneiderPetr Posted March 20, 2019 Share #3 Posted March 20, 2019 For more than 1000€ price-diff the Q-P (new, not used) is the better camera and yes a good start too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-P has a better release/onoff button than the standard Q Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donzo98 Posted March 20, 2019 Share #5 Posted March 20, 2019 I debated this exact same issue... I love the look of the Q-P... but in the end I couldn't resist the Q2. I will have it in hand today. I was going to buy a Q-P (LIKE NEW) for 3600 shipped. I'm not sure what kind of deal you got... but I hope you will be happy. Good Luck...

T.J. Posted March 20, 2019 Share #6 Posted March 20, 2019 I almost ordered a Q-P as well until I heard the rumors of the imminent release of the Q2. I saw the Q-P drop almost instantly to ~ US$4300 when the rumors started. My thought was if the Q2 had come out priced at US$6,000+, I would have ordered the Q-P. But with the better EVF and weatherproofing, not to mention the sensor, for essentially what the Q-P was priced at, I oped for the Q2. It has shipped and I will have it next week. One similar thought. When Leica released the Q-P had they upgraded the EVF, added whatever weather proofing they could, and priced it at US$4200, I think they might have gotten a lot of takers from those that either didn't want to need the bigger sensor. Might even be a camera they could have kept in there product time for some time. Similar to Nikon with the Z6 and Z7. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimBo Posted March 22, 2019 Share #9 Posted March 22, 2019 I wonder if the Q-P will ever cross over to the collectible category.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemmy Caution Posted March 24, 2019 Share #12 Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Although I waited until the Q2 was announced and had one on pre-order; March 8th I proceeded to buy a Q-P at a decent price ($4,000 -eBay dealer). Probably could have waited a few months and gotten it cheaper but that's a pointless game when compared with the immediate positive effects of the purchase. I feel like my ability to work quickly and precisely moved forward significantly. While I'm intrigued by the technological superiority of the Q2 I bought the Q-P because: 1 - Any technology in its first year gives me pause - 2 - The stealth look for shooting headshots where the dot can be distracting to my subject and for doing street work- people notice my other Leicas and frequently comment - usually favorably but, I'd prefer that my work not get distracted by talking cameras. Need one camera (besides my Canon 6D and Fuji X100s) w/o a red dot. 3 - Lack of the AF+ press lock 4 - The shutter release and top layout fits my shooting style 5 - 'Pixel Deficit' has never hindered my work. I've shot some of my best work with a Digilux 2 or Digilux 3. Eventually - I'm sure there will be a Q2 in my life - the Low light capability and 75mm faux zoom are especially exciting. My guess is that you will love the results from the Q-P Edited March 24, 2019 by Lemmy Caution Readability 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
