viramati Posted March 22, 2023 Share #322 Posted March 22, 2023 For me to consider upgrading if and when a Q3 came to market it would have to have hybrid AF and a tilting screen otherwise I would stick with the Q2. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it would not make the images better, but it would make them sharper. And if the are not good: then you get bad sharp images. but some people might like that …. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, so a better AF could be worse. Because, if you have a bad image and it is a bit blurry, you suddenly might end up with something that gets an artistic justification with that ‚intentionally‘ great of blurriness to point out the fogginess of our existence per se and the surrealism of our society … or so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that a new camera can't improve you skill. But a coach can.

Casey Jefferson Posted March 23, 2023 Share #328 Posted March 23, 2023 I just got myself the Q2 few days ago and AF had been reliable, except when the subject is too small in the frame and the spot focus hit on the background instead of the subject. I blame myself for that and I don't think having phase detect helps. But I can imagine having phase detect going to help subject tracking tremendously as the lens seems to focus very quickly. I guess they're left with the Sony 60mp sensor as a meaningful upgrade to the Q2, which I'm not optimistic about as I didn't like the color signature of the M11. The color signature of the Q2 is just perfect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinzX Posted March 23, 2023 Share #329 Posted March 23, 2023 Question - assuming the new chip would have a resolution of 60 MP instead of 47 of the Q2 at 28 mm. How much would be left at 50 and 75 mm - digital basis. Would there be a remarkable difference ? At 28 mm and 35 mm the resolution of the Q 2 is better than good for me.

Viv Posted March 23, 2023 Share #330 Posted March 23, 2023 Regardless of the wonders offered by the Q3, I will not be buying it. I am content with my Q2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynp Posted March 25, 2023 Share #336 Posted March 25, 2023 I had an interesting conversation with my younger family member, a 26 year old choreographer . We gave her the Leica Q1 a year and a half ago and it’s her only camera. I asked what she is lacking in her Q, mostly wanting to get a hint what photography gift we might have to prepare for her next birthday. She said she is happy with her Q1, it documents her life and work well. As far the camera is concerned, she wondered if Leica could introduce some computational photography tricks into the Q. She is interested in a night mode and the option of some kind of multi-frame fusion to bracket shots together at different exposures like her phone does but with the Leica look and texture in the JPEG files. She does not shoot DNGs, she is a dancer after all, not a Leica purist. I found it’s interesting that younger people want to have a powerful computer in their cameras. Maybe it’s a good idea to get some computational technology into the new Q3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucena Posted March 25, 2023 Share #337 Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Photography for me is about light. When I take a photo what comes SOOC has to reflect my feeling towards what made me take the shot. Almost 50 years shooting with film before deciding to try digital. What puzzles me is how complicated cams became, inferno of programs in most, sofisticated post processing as a must do. I have the feeling when I listen or read some photographers that we are far from photography as I see it, as film photographers did. Therefore Ms were perfect for me, but too heavy to always carry even with just one favorite lens (50 lux) and then the lens I needed was too often the ones I had left home. When Leica issued the Q I was really happy: light weight and covering about 90% of my needs with the macro feature as bonus, allowing manual shooting and focusing as I enjoy, no program parafernalia to get me drowned… and always in my bag. Upgraded to the Q2 (the Q makes happy a close relative) because longer lasting battery, the ISO 50 which is very useful when like me you live in a very sunny country, the 47mp useful when you need serious crop. And some more little improvements. I think the Q3 should be in the same photographic philosophy, it is what makes Qs so popular: performant, versatile and simple at the same time. I don’t think I will upgrade, the only thing that would make me fall for it is impossible: a 1.4 aperture… Sorry for the font size, tried to reduce them but could not find how as I am on ipad, being not home with iMac… Edited March 25, 2023 by Lucena Tried to reduce font size but did not succeed 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

snooper Posted March 26, 2023 Share #339 Posted March 26, 2023 So… In short… After lots of views on the subject, I still have a question related to Leica’s choices for the Q3… If (and that is conditional of course) you were given the choice between - let’s say - a Q3 28mm and a Q3 40mm, (both Summilux) which one would you pick ? I thought 28 would be the obvious answer, but it seems that it’s not… Pure speculation, obviously 😉 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc B-C Posted March 26, 2023 Share #340 Posted March 26, 2023 My Q3 prediction is that irrespective of the specs of the Q3, there will be ongoing threads stating it is brilliant / it is not worth it. 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
