How to upload images: Prepare the image as follows: 1.   The image should be sRGB and 8-bits 2.   Reduce the size to 2048 pixels on the longest side. (smaller sizes can be set, but are not recommended) 3.   Sharpen properly for screen. 4.   Save as JPG to your desktop, reducing JPG quality to produce 2000 kB (5000 kB for sponsoring members). 5.   In Lightroom these parameters should be set in the Export dialog. 6.   In the Forum posting or editing box, click “choose Fil

Viewing the threads of posted Q3 images and this one on the Q2, I see more natural images - not over contrasty - with the Q2 versus the Q3.  Does Anyone else see this?  Overall,  I prefer the images in this tread on the Q2, and it may influence which Q I purchase.    

This comment is probably for a separate thread, but I think you need to know the photographer’s intent with the shot, which software program they used to process, and what settings in that program were adjusted.

Hi

I'm part of '24 Photography' http://www.24photography.org A collective of 24 photographers who take images representing the hour of the day, one hour each, on Jan 1 each year. The curated images are then exhibited in central London (Soho Square) for 4 weeks in March. It's always a tough gig getting something exhibitable in a tight hour. The images are colour and square format, just to make it harder....I would normally have used my M10-P and the 24 Summilux, but as my slot this year was 11pm-12am and I had known for several weeks it was going to be VERY wet I brought forward the purchase of a Q2 I had planned this year. I spent some time setting the camera up and had an hour to get used to it before 11pm. I was very pleased with it indeed.

Some reflections (compared to the Sony Rx1Rii I used to have)

1. It's quick, both to focus in difficult conditions and to take images. No issues with VF blackout.

2. Colour (in Lightroom) is just perfect

3. Shooting at ISO 1600 there is a little noise, but it cleans up very well with the new LR AI de-noise and shadows can be pushed a couple of stops.

4. Camera was completely soaked for 2 hrs and other than having to stop and wipe off the lens filter and VF occasionally all was fine.

5. The lens is ideal for cropping to a square format whereas a 35 would be too tight.

6. Set white balance to Tungsten and it was mostly just about correct.

So all in all very happy with it!

I don't think the Q3 would have offered me any advantages over and above slightly more flexible files.

My shortlist of images below

I shot a Q2 for about 2 years and now use the Q3 since September and looking back at photos from both cameras I do not see much difference other than at low light the Q3 does produce a higher quality image.  Since I am the one processing all of these, I imagine my work flow has a more substantial impact on how they look than any differences in the cameras, with the exception of low light/high ISO.  These are my impressions. If you tend to shoot at higher ISO/low light situations the Q3 would be a no brainer.  If you crop a lot, the extra few MP might make a difference or not.  48 to 60 is not that big a deal.  In some ways the Q2 is better as the Q3 has a few quirks that for some might be a problem, like the long startup and the viewfinder blackout, but for me the are an annoyance but not a problem. You have to decide for yourself based on the kinds of photos you tend to take.
