AF seems to be a decent improvement, but need to test it properly today. They asked me not to post photos of it or from it until 3PM today, so this confirms the embargo time of 3pm reported earlier. You are breaking the 3 PM embargo by sharing the AF information :(. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, after being banned for repeatedly breaking the embargo on M11, I thought he would be more careful. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very surprised to hear about this. I thought it should be at the same level of the S5II? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted May 25, 2023 Share #709 Posted May 25, 2023 It would appear that there might be something nice for me in tomorrow morning's post. Can't imagine what. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darylgo Posted May 25, 2023 Share #710 Posted May 25, 2023 It's nice to see you back Steven, you add a great deal to this forum. 4 minutes ago, Steven said: The image quality is really good. So sharp I might need to diffuse it a bit. The original Q is too sharp for me, I shoot it with a Zeiss softar. Often times reducing texture or clarity in post. This is contrary to what most like. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexx Posted May 25, 2023 Share #711 Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Red Dot Cameras removed Q2 from website, was there hour ago, so I guess at 1PM UK time there will be Q3 - will go to Mayfair store and Aperture on Saturday - I hope there will be a chance to try it out Edited May 25, 2023 by hexx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted May 25, 2023 Share #712 Posted May 25, 2023 Well here's a first in over 60 years of buying and using Leica cameras. The UK price (can't say what as yet, for another hour), came as a pleasant surprise. Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica Store Manchester has a similar discount on the Ghost but still lists Disney at recommended retail. There could be some good deals following official release of the Q3. A new model doesn't diminish the older model - there's not a lot wrong with the Q2 as Leica's sales figures testify. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted May 25, 2023 Share #716 Posted May 25, 2023 Sadly for me, Leica is not yet listing a dumb grip. I need a grip for my arthritic hands but have no need for wireless charging, with now a total of 5 batteries which will fit (4 from my SL601). I may wait and get a third party grip for the Q3 from the likes of IDS. I have an excellent KameraKraft grip for my M10-R with a battery door in it.

reynoldsyoung Posted May 25, 2023 Share #717 Posted May 25, 2023 I would imagine the RRS Q2 grip/plate will fit the Q3. I have it on my Q2M...great product! https://www.reallyrightstuff.com/bq2-lpg?quantity=1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
