peterv Posted March 6, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 6, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I thought it might be a good idea to have links to reviews about the new S3 all in one place, please post any links you may find about the new S3 here.

dfarkas Posted March 6, 2020 Share #4 Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Definitely not what I would call my full review, but rather an overview of the S3, along with a selection of sample images I shot with the S3 and various lenses in Patagonia: https://www.reddotforum.com/content/2020/03/leica-s3-64mp-medium-format-camera-now-shipping/ Edited March 6, 2020 by dfarkas 6 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the Patagonia images, especially the portrait on the 45mm. Will be excited to see your full review after some time goes by...

Stuart Richardson Posted March 7, 2020 Share #6 Posted March 7, 2020 Yes, really lovely images David. It must have been a joy to be able to visit there, all the better for having such a nice camera in tow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaemono Posted March 7, 2020 Share #8 Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Another review by a nice guy who actually doesn't have the camera. It starts to get interesting at 6:19. 'The S2P is sick amazing but the megapixel now is more higher. [...] You need to have really big things like size per square meter' when it comes to MF sensor.

helged Posted March 7, 2020 Share #9 Posted March 7, 2020 Thanks @Chaemono! Hopefully we get somewhat more substantiated and hands-on 'reviews' in the not-to-far-future. In addition to @djmay and @dfarkas fine and real-world experiences, that is... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbrown Posted March 8, 2020 Share #10 Posted March 8, 2020 This trend of the high MP sensor is killing me... However 64 puts the S3 in the same category as the other 50+ MP medium format cameras. Any idea what the big BIG difference BESIDES the high MP is between my 007 and this beast (also, not including video. A neat feature but unless it has L-log that is gradable as good as say the Panasonic S1H, or taking all that 16 bit goodness into video space... I dunno, seems as though the SL2 beats it video-wise hands down. I may keep my 007. 37MP like the 24 on the Q1, SL1 and M10 (M240/246) is a sweet spot I already have evolved to. I don't need a crop factor, never have. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need a crop factor, never have. Im sort of in the same camp for now. Very used to it but also don’t need the megapixels and from my use in film, I crop a little. But not much at all.

Yes, but it's hard to top the passion that both Oz and Ramsey convey when they talk about Leica gear and by that reflect how many of us feel.

Stuart Richardson Posted March 8, 2020 Share #13 Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) The video Oz posted calling what amounted to slow Leica lenses (the Summarits, elmarits etc) dogs demonstrated to me that he has only a basic idea what he is talking about. It is frustrating these days that the self-proclaimed fonts of wisdom are generally just examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect in action.

helged Posted March 8, 2020 Share #15 Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) 30 minutes ago, djmay said: They should have listened to the philosopher Harry Callahan; “a man’s got to know his limitations.” From the high, northern latitudes, by the explorer, scientist, diplomat, humanitarian and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Fridtjof Nansen: “Man wants to know, and when he ceases to do so, he is no longer a man.” And since we are in more modern times, and given today date, "man" should rather be "human mankind".

tom0511 Posted March 11, 2020 Share #19 Posted March 11, 2020 Is there any review available writing about the actual production model S3? I mean not based on betatests long time ago. Has anybody had a production model in hand and post some experiences? Thanks a lot, Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmknoble Posted March 11, 2020 Share #20 Posted March 11, 2020 If Leica would send me a production model, I would put together a great, current review 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
