Yeah, I would be out if there were no video features. I like the idea of a small, no fuss hybrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did read that my Q2 can do video, so the Q3 might be able to do it too. I believe it gives you moving pictures, but I can't imagine that anyone would want to use it. Fortunately Leica hides the feature really well and doesn't waste any R&D expense on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my butler didn’t take the horseless carriage to the city with my Q3 still inside, I’d be able to tell you whether it makes moving pictures or not. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video folks will have plenty of models to choose from in the Q series. As in the Q2 there will be an "M" and possibly replacements for the "Dawn", "Disney" "Ghost", "Reporter" and others. I believe there is a market for a dedicated "Stills only" Leica Q in a price range that fits the Leica brand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf_ZG Posted May 20, 2023 Share #605 Posted May 20, 2023 Except for 10s shots with the phone, I guess I will never do video: can’t imagine myself editing the things I film. Rather spend my time on photos. That said, I am not bothered with video on a camera as long as it doesn’t have its own buttons. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobjuul Posted May 21, 2023 Share #606 Posted May 21, 2023 A bit disappointed they didn’t improve the focusing scale when manually focusing. The scale and throw still looks to be super short to the point of being useless (for zone focusing) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m intrigued about the ‘Eco’ and ‘Performance’ connectivity mode. I’m guessing Eco uses BLE only for geotagging or something and Performance uses Wi-Fi for wireless tethering? MIMO Wi-Fi, presumably 2x2 with 802.11 AC would be nice for higher bandwidth to support higher quality live view with less lag and faster file transfer from the FOTOs app. Edited May 21, 2023 by beewee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know. Still a beast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The noise will be the same for the same-sized output (same as in M11). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that it is something more useful. Leica Q2 already has iDR. Having an in-camera frame averaging and image alignment would be nice. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
