Lucena Posted May 10, 2023 Share #304 Posted May 10, 2023 A tilt screen would have some use for me, but... I live in a very hot, dry, windy and therefore dusty nature. Our Algarvian/Alentejana sierra is almost sub-desertical and in the coast Monte Gordo has one of the finest sands in the world so it is always "flying". People I know having tilt screens (fuji, etc) have problems with the mechanism, always have to keep it free from dusts using air pressure bombs or at least ear pears, cannot use the tilt screen outside on windy conditions (this is most of the days...), so for me it is a no go, even if my old joints would appreciate that help. What would make me trade my Q2 for a Q3 right away is not happening: a 1.4 aperture... Guess my Q2 still has a life ahead with me (I still have my Q been happily used by a family member) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicci78 Posted May 10, 2023 Share #305 Posted May 10, 2023 Q3 will be pre-presented this very Saturday at the brand new Parisian Leica Store Village Royal. Stephan Daniels will be the special guest. Sadly I won’t be able to attend. They will lend Q3 for a photo walk around Paris. Just like the previous pre-launch for the Q2. Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted May 10, 2023 Share #306 Posted May 10, 2023 I better get my wallet ready. Ffordes in Beauly, Scotland, where I am at the top of their Q3 wait list, got an M10-R on release day, which headed in my direction. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwertynm Posted May 10, 2023 Share #307 Posted May 10, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) My wallet is ready as well. I hope I made the cut for the Leica Store in Zürich. Fingers crossed I get to take the camera to Sardegna in June. Excited 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q3 with tilt screen looks like a hunchback I'd prefer a flush tilt screen too, but I'll take the Q3 tilt screen over no tilt screen any day. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted May 10, 2023 Share #309 Posted May 10, 2023 Sure, the Q3 may be a lot more expensive than the Q2. But all that means is that my used Q2 may sell for a bit more as well, rather than plummeting in value. Always look on the bright side. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Chef Posted May 10, 2023 Share #311 Posted May 10, 2023 I would love to know whether the Q3 will have PDAF, and what the resolution of the EVF will be. And I hear that a 90mm crop will be possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I hear that a 90mm crop will be possible. Q3 should provide those resolutions : 28mm = 60 MP 35mm = 38 MP 50mm = 19 MP 75mm = 8 MP 90mm = 6 MP Is it worth it to bother us with 90mm crop for a mere 6 MP ? Same for 75mm with 8MP. I always hated to have to press 4x the crop buttons to circle around the different "focal lengths" Please don't add another useless press. 75mm frame lines is already way too small, 90mm will be utterly worthless is the Q3 did not magnify the viewing Edited May 10, 2023 by nicci78 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Why press any buttons? Just take the picture, crop it to whatever size later. It's the same picture whether you elect to display crop frames in the viewfinder or not...unless you save only Jpegs. If that's the case, then I agree - too many button presses. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that if you crop then the exposure is only measured within the cropped region, so the end result will not be the same as if you had not selected a crop.

nicci78 Posted May 10, 2023 Share #315 Posted May 10, 2023 Exactly. Metering and AF will be made within the selected framelines. And if frame correctly to taste no need to waste time post processing many photos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd look like a generation behind in the lineup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
