This is extremely ignorant.   To believe partershnips don’t benefit and push product development.

That's the opposite of what I wrote. Almost every brand does it, and it's a good thing. I apologise if my comment was confusing.

Not this again...

Every once in a while someone appoints themselves the mission to "prove" that whatever Leica does isn't Leica at all... This kind of thing appeals to conspiracy theorists (it's a personality type).

 

 

No worries, I’m sorry my comment wasn’t clear either.  I was addressing this first paragraph which says my comments was to “prove” that Leica didn’t wholly derive their product.  And that it was indicative a personality defect to think otherwise.

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

I want to be perfectly clear: I did not identify any personality trait as a "defect."

For colour quality and resolution for commercial work, I hope for a FF Foveon rather than a 47 mp sensor. ISO 100 - 400 would be fine. A Bayer sensor is perfectly fine for all my other needs at 24mp.

I picked up the new Panasonics at B and H a week or so ago, it may produce the same or better images than the SL2 but I didn't like the way it felt in my hands, the dials, etc .... if design matters to how you shoot (it does to me), I  will wait for the SL2 and hope it is a bit smaller and lighter than the SL. Swapped my Q for a CL about a year ago for need, enjoy the CL a lot not so much the cropped sensor (hate doing the math on the lenses), but IQ is terrific. Point is that beyond the sensor, color rendition and external design and simplicity of menus do matter. Otherwise we would all own bodies of different brands and Leica would be resolved to producing only lenses with adapters to fit.
