Look at the first photo of post #339 IMO that is a horrible hack. I hate it on my RX100s, and it is one of the main reasons why I prefer the D-LUX 7 instead. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frame-it Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share #363 Posted May 11, 2023 the Q3 uses a BP-SCL6 battery, the Q2 has BP-SCL4. Welcome, dear visitor!

I wonder if having caps and thumb grip in 3 colors mean that they will sell the camera in more than just black. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikep996 Posted May 11, 2023 Share #366 Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) So a grip for a Q2 won't work on a Q3? I guess if a marketing executive suggested it should she would be out of job quite rapidly! I gotta' say, if Leica is serious about offering gold/silver colored accessories, the people that badmouth Leica cameras as being mostly about rich peoples's fashion statements appear to be correct. 😱 Edited May 11, 2023 by Mikep996 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q3 grip will not work on Q2 as there is an alignment pin on the Q3 grip and there’s no alignment hole on the Q2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf_ZG Posted May 11, 2023 Share #371 Posted May 11, 2023 I wonder, regarding the flip screen… what if the camera freezes (not unlike as all latest models from Leica has this option), will you still be able to fold the screen back or will it remain locked? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I waited a year for this function on Q2, but I couldn't stand it and eventually sold Q2, switching to using two M10s (now two M11s). I'm afraid it may take 2-3 years to fix this in Q3 too.

I own a Q2M. I appears to be an almost perfect camera within the context of it's intended limitations. I've owned it for 2 years and never felt compelled to come to an online message board because the camera is so intuitive. I'm only here today because of a Q3 rumor link. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A proper BBF decouples focusing from the shutter button and initiates focusing with the rear button only. The latest Q2 "BBF" implementation locks the focus with the rear button until you change the aperture, turn the top wheel, or press any of the buttons. Then it reverts to focusing via the shutter button. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicci78 Posted May 12, 2023 Share #375 Posted May 12, 2023 Sorry I thought it was a typical BFB. I never use it, I prefer to have the crop button. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't need a 60mp sensor and am happy with the present one. More pixels often mean more issues at high iso (important to me) with noise and the DNG files are huge (This is mitigated if you use Adobe Lightroom as by updating the metadata you can halve the size of the file) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smogg Posted May 12, 2023 Share #379 Posted May 12, 2023 The three Leica Q cameras of my dreams for street photography would look like this: Q28/5.6 APO IBIS, Q35/5.6 APO IBIS, Q50/5.6 APO IBIS. An aperture of 5.6 would probably allow the small size of the lenses to be preserved and the ability to be apochromatic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
