ken_tanaka Posted April 1, 2023 Share #27 Posted April 1, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) The Disney-themed Q2 seems utterly ridiculous to me. But Leica is long known for such “special edition” camera make-overs so they clearly know their market segments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Chef Posted April 1, 2023 Share #28 Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) 29 minutes ago, ken_tanaka said: they clearly know their market segments. I think rather than knowing their buyer segments they simply make random eclectic and disconnected choices. There’s no consistent thematic linkage between the LEs and the brand except perhaps “Creativity” which is so generic as to be meaningless. Where Leica does well is with consistent theming, like the “Reporter” series or the “Ghost” series. Leica could do variations on those two themes almost ad-infinitum if they wanted. Look at the way brands like Adidas, Converse and Nike build sub brands that way. They’re very successful, not cheap, and create huge anticipation and awareness for the brand overall at launch. Leica’s end of term report when it comes to LEs is “Capable of doing much better” Edited April 1, 2023 by Le Chef Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfs head Posted April 1, 2023 Share #29 Posted April 1, 2023 I’m idly curious… Is the black design printed on the white skin? Will it wear off with use - making the camera even more desirable as it does so? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrMi Posted April 1, 2023 Share #30 Posted April 1, 2023 The incessant moralizing of "true Leica believers" makes me want to get the Q2 "Disney" out of spite 😂. I will (most likely) not get it, as I already have three Q2s, and Q3 is around the corner. However, I will not look down on those who will get it and enjoy it. For those who wonder why Leica picked that design now, read the OP. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted April 1, 2023 Share #31 Posted April 1, 2023 I must confess that I rather like it - it is a. fun design with a story.behind it. Some people take this far too seriously. Leica is not a religion, Special editions are not blasphemy. 🙄 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjazz Posted April 7, 2023 Share #36 Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) I came to Leica in 2018 because I wanted serious, high quality German equipment to advance my photography. A DLux 7 was followed by a Q2, then adding an Sl2-S, and also a Q2 M. This cartoon Q2 strikes me as even more frivolous than the Seal Q2 and Bond Q2's. To me such editions are silly, juvenile, and diminish Leica as a serious photography brand. Edited April 7, 2023 by Tjazz 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

liggy Posted April 7, 2023 Share #40 Posted April 7, 2023 Now I hope they release a Q3 "Hello Kitty" SE just to see if anyone here just has a freakin' stroke. It's just a camera and graphics. Some of y'all need to get over yourselves. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
