rramesh Posted May 18, 2023 Share #503 Posted May 18, 2023 Where is the USB-C port? Is it within a side door? The 3-pins at the bottom seem to be power connectors to a base unit. Wonder why it’s not recessed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume the square hood is still standard - the accessories are just that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBounce Posted May 18, 2023 Share #505 Posted May 18, 2023 So is it safe to assume the Q3 will be offered in multiple colors? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beewee Posted May 18, 2023 Share #506 Posted May 18, 2023 Given the amount of leaked photos floating around and not a single non-black Q3 has shown up, I’m doubtful we’ll have a Q3 in any other color than black until some special editions start showing up in 3+ years.

beewee Posted May 18, 2023 Share #509 Posted May 18, 2023 Probably because Leica wants to cash in on the accessory market. The Q is arguably the most popular model for new Leica owners and these folks who are coming from Fujifilm, Ricoh, and Sony want to accessorizes their cameras.

LocalHero1953 Posted May 18, 2023 Share #512 Posted May 18, 2023 If they've redesigned the hood so a more secure lens cap can be used, I'm all for it. But those hoods look odd - like they're ventilated to be used on a M with a rangefinder. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those hoods look odd - like they're ventilated to be used on a M with a rangefinder. They're designed to be nostalgic and look like rangefinder lens hoods... just like the whole Q body is reminiscent to a rangefinder body (viewfinder on the left and so on...) TBH it looks just really cool. No practical use for the ventilated slits. I saw one out in the open yesterday... noticed a Q with that hood, the Leica employee tried to distract me by showing that hood to me but I was sure: They were handling a Q3... The Q with that round hood installed just looks super pretty Edited May 18, 2023 by Marckyokay 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Q is arguably the most popular model for new Leica owners and these folks who are coming from Fujifilm, Ricoh, and Sony want to accessorizes their cameras. Curious where the data is to support your claim? Maybe I’m an outlier? Turns out I am not one of “these folks.” My more recent purchase of a Q2, though costly, was for a specific need. And that need was for a light and high quality kit to take on holiday. Because of advancing physical issues I just wanted to carry one cam and one lens that could serve as many “situations” on my European holiday as possible. It needed to be fully weather sealed and light enough to carry during long walks and tours without adding excessive weight. Lastly the IQ needed to be as good as possible. I shoot Sony professionally and use Fuji as a pleasure cam. Didn’t want to carry a bevy of lenses to change though options were available. Finally decided on the purchase of the Q2 which turned out to be a fine choice. No regrets whatsoever. Didn’t need to accessorize. Turns out the only truly necessary accessory was an umbrella! Oh, and one extra battery Bob 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one for my Q2M, it was delivered promptly so I must have been lucky. I like it, makes changing filters on the Monochrom very easy, you can't do that with the Leica original unless you remove the hood first. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simone_DF Posted May 18, 2023 Share #518 Posted May 18, 2023 You can buy these vented hoods for very little on Amazon, eBay etc. I remember getting one for my Q2, together with a snap on lens cap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
