I'm not the one going to the Himalayas! But I do a lot of live performance photography, and having 1-2 fully charged batteries is vital. I top up my batteries with the charger at home or in the hotel when travelling. A powerbank may be helpful for you and others, but it isn't for me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Yes, it is (for the SL, SL2, SL2-S and Q2), though rumour has it that the Q3 will have the same battery form factor, and will be compatible with the current batteries, but will have new batteries with higher capacity. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not shooting an event, where you can't miss a moment (wedding for example) I don't see a reason why anyone would buy the overpriced Leica batteries. Sometimes batteries are just more convenient than having a powerbank in your pocket and your camera connected via a cable hanging around. The combination that works for me is one spare battery + powerbank in case I run out of the second battery, but of course different people have different needs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted May 17, 2023 Share #487 Posted May 17, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Having bought and grown to like the Q2 Reporter, I'll be sorry to lose the finish - the fibre grip is a real benefit IMO, and I find the colour attractive. I'm sure there'll be a Reporter edition eventually, but I probably won't wait. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikep996 Posted May 17, 2023 Share #491 Posted May 17, 2023 Obviously the need for spare batteries is directly dependent on how you use the camera. If you don't chimp, and only use the EVF when out shooting, and pretty much act like you have roll of film in the camera (so no spray and pray). The batt will last for several days in those conditions! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this be to accommodate the CFExpress card? That would be nice. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! If you compare photos with the Q2, the max width of the SD card cover is the same as the Q2. They had to make room for the 3-pin charging contacts so the SD card cover shifted to the center. As a result, a cut out in the SD card cover had to be made to accommodate the SD card slot cover. So no, there will not be support for CFExpress. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Dahl Posted May 17, 2023 Share #499 Posted May 17, 2023 is the 3 pin charging the same size as USB-C? so you can push usb c in and the 3-pin disappears into the camera with a spring? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
