microview Posted May 22, 2023 Share #645 Posted May 22, 2023 If we have a 90mm crop option that's new, then maybe improved 50 cropped images and macro resolution – neither all that good on the Q2. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only dilemma I have is if it’s better to try to sell M240 and 28/2 ASPH on eBay or try to get a trade-in offer - never tried it before. With Aperture (my favourite London dealer) if time is not an issue then commission sale is far better than trade-in offer! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hexx Posted May 22, 2023 Share #648 Posted May 22, 2023 Got a quote for my DP Merrill collection (1,2 & 3) all boxed and in excellent condition £580. Left me speechless. Might go down the eBay route - I’d rather keep them than selling them for such a low amount. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left me speechless. Might go down the eBay route - I’d rather keep them than selling them for such a low amount. electronics depreciate fast. there are some exceptions with niche cameras but the market is usually small and there aren't many buyers. a store needs to factor that in when buying used goods from customers to resell (especially when they don't have an online shop with a big reach eg. local camera stores). it's no secret that selling to a shop is usually out of necessity rather than an objectively 'good deal' for the seller (you). Would you buy an aps-c camera with a fixed 50 2.8 from 2013 today? I certainly wouldn't. The same doesn't necessarily apply to the Leica Q2. Some depreciation already happened. Used prices in Switzerland are floating around 4000 SFr. with the Q(1) sitting about halfway there. I think the Q2 won't depreciate much further even when the Q3 will be released later this week. The Q3 will be expensive and hard to get in the beginning, so the price of used Q2s will remain relatively stable (imho) until access to the Q3 gets better. I wouldn't offload my Q2 in a hurry for a lower price than it is worth in anticipation of the Q3 as the interest in used Q2s will only rise once the Q3 will be released. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. They offered me a great trade in value for my Q2 against an M11. I decided to keep the Q2 but it was still a very tempting offer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Cameras UK, which I have previously found very good, offered £2,400 compared to MPB at £3,150. That's a big difference for [what I thought would be] a desirable camera in perfect condition. There was little speculation about the Q3 at that time, and of course, that has changed now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobers Posted May 23, 2023 Share #654 Posted May 23, 2023 I’d really like the long-exposure noise reduction to be switch-off-able on the Q3. I do a bunch of night photography and this function drove me insane, having to wait 3 minutes after a 3 minute exposure. I sold my Q-P as a result and bought an A7III and an X100V for everything else. I’m strongly eyeing up a Q3. I skipped the Q2 though sorely tempted. The “all-in-one” ability of the Q3 with the higher pixel count for digital zoom is very attractive. But pleeeeeeease make the LENR optional. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luetz Posted May 23, 2023 Share #658 Posted May 23, 2023 Is everyone that is getting trade in prices, calculating the sales tax saving as well. Here in BC we pay 12% sales tax. In my case my dealer offered $3500.00 for my 2 year old Q2 which equates to $4200.00 towards a Q3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the basis of how many people requested resolution of the wandering focal point over multiple models and how receptive Leica were over 6 years, you may be waiting for a while. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
