Advertisement Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 Hi mhasman, Take a look here Leica Q3 ?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Le Chef Posted May 11, 2023 Share #322 Posted May 11, 2023 11 hours ago, nicci78 said: Q3 should provide those resolutions : 28mm = 60 MP 35mm = 38 MP 50mm = 19 MP 75mm = 8 MP 90mm = 6 MP On that basis, it makes no sense for me to sell my CL kit, sell my Q2, and buy a Q3. Somewhere between 35mm and 50mm the CL is the better option than the Q3, since the costs of the TL 18-56, Sigma 56mm, and TL 55-135 have all been amortized there is no gain. The only gain is if I need more MP than my Q2, and if I’m prepared to fund the gap, which is likely from a sale price for the Q2 of $3500, and an estimated $7,750 sale price of the Q3 of $4,250. To me that makes no sense. I will not buy an SL2 or 3 and associated lenses, as they’re all too heavy to make it worthwhile. So I can buy an M11 which I have never used, and 3 lenses, which will be about $25k, or buy into a Fuji system. In truth I’m better off keeping my CL and lenses, and maybe keeping my Q2, but from a performance and financial perspective any Fuji system camera and lenses might be the second best option. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikep996 Posted May 11, 2023 Share #324 Posted May 11, 2023 Despite my personal distaste/dislike/no-use-for for a tilting screen I'm favorably impressed that Leica implemented it since it appears it was a common request for the "next iteration" of the Q. IOW, they DO pay attention to input. I wouldn't have in this case but that's why they are in charge of a successful company and I'm not! 😆 I wonder if they'd pay any attention to my input for a Leica Q2 3/4 - with all the Q3 bits except the tilt screen! 🤔 Probably not. 🙄 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikep996 Posted May 11, 2023 Share #328 Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) "what's the issue with the screen just remaining in it's position? do you mind the protruding assembly?" Yes, it just looks, as noted earlier..."hunchback-y" But TBH, I'm sure a week after getting one it would become a total non issue. Hey, I'm one of those guys who won't consider selling/trading my M10R for an M11 because the 11 doesn't have a baseplate! Yeah, I know, it's more convenient to NOT have a baseplate. But I never let common sense get between me and a decision! Edited May 11, 2023 by Mikep996 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwertynm Posted May 11, 2023 Share #329 Posted May 11, 2023 @Mikep996 I get it. I would've prefered a flush screen as well, still tilting but a bit different design. But it's not enough to put me off as the rest seems to add to a nice package. We'll probably see soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicci78 Posted May 11, 2023 Share #330 Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) Sony A7C which is full frame and weathersealed can do it all. interchangeable lens mount smaller body than Q2 include 5 axis sensor stabilisation focal plane mechanical shutter flush swivel screen Somehow years later Q3 can't any of that Welcome, dear visitor!

nicci78 Posted May 11, 2023 Share #331 Posted May 11, 2023 5 axis IBIS and improved lens should have been higher on the list. Way above hunchbaQ style tilting screen. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicci78 Posted May 11, 2023 Share #335 Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) number of pixels do not increase body size. Still same real estate of 24x36mm By the way a Q2-S with 24MP would have been excellent Edited May 11, 2023 by nicci78 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Q2 is bulky and expensive, so the Fuji is better. But the Fuji is only APS-C, so the Sony is better. But....... I'm glad I have a life...... But wait - I'm still reading this stuff....

nicci78 Posted May 11, 2023 Share #339 Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) I forgot about this one. But the better comparison is the Sony RX1R II with EVF and thiner tilting screen than Q3 !!
