I've been entertaining myself while I wait for my Q3 by buying the other cameras I've thought about over the last 6 months and trying them out...

For context, I have a Q2M and had an M11 (sold it a couple of weeks ago)

Got a Fuji GFX100S.  Nice camera, but I didn't like the way it felt in my hands, and it seemed like the focus was always a bit off.  So I sent it back.

Then I got a Sony a7R V.  Insane technological masterpiece. The most incredible AF system I've ever encountered.  Everything about this camera is incredible.  But the photos feel clinical-- like they have no soul.  I ordered an adapter to try my M glass on it, we'll see how that goes.  But I have a feeling it's going to go back.

Tomorrow, I have a Hasselblad X2D + 45mm F4 + M adapter coming.  In my mind, this is going to be the perfect pairing for my approach-- X2D + Q3... but maybe it'll go back, too.

What are you all doing to feed your impatience while waiting for your Q3?

Incessantly, and I do mean incessantly, checking my emails waiting for the nod from Leica Miami.

Though come to think of it, it may be clinically more accurate to call the behavior: Obsessive Compulsive. 😂

Selling gear I don’t need. Watching YouTube videos of people who already have their q3. Checking my email a little too often. Since I ordered on the 30th from b&h I should probably just forget I ordered the q3 and just let it show up when it shows up.

Wait… you’re buying and returning all these cameras?

Sucks. Ordered the Q3 from B&H on that fateful day (05/25) like so many others. Was hoping to take it on my trip to London and Bath Spa, but , alas, was not to be. 
First world problem:  took my A7rV instead with the new 24-70 ( no other lenses) at twice the weight. 
We live in an amazing world at an amazing time.

I happened to snag the first spot on the waitlist at Crutchfield. I emailed with their customer service to confirm my place in line. 11:27AM EST on 5/30 and they processed payment yesterday, shipping says it will arrive tomorrow. Incredible experience with Crutchfield, top notch customer service from beginning to end on the transaction.

 

Hopefully a few others had their ticket punched with this shipping run!

Has anyone who has placed an order with B&H after the 9 am EST release received their purchase?  

Yeah I think some folks who ordered it on B&H early got the camera shipped out on the day of/day after release, but no movement since.

Was just able to order one from leicacamerausa.com!

We'll see if it really happens!

I bought a Q2 reporter...returned it ,because it seemed more used than described

 

bought a Q2...loved it...returned it...I cant justify the price with the new one coming any day (month) now

 

ordered Sony A7rV to fill my time and make use of lenses I already have while I wait for this shipping notif on the Q3 

 

My wife thinks I am insane.
