Don’t you guys have other cameras to use and enjoy until the happy surprise arrives on your doorstep ?? A “I want it now” feeding frenzy is so 2023… :lol: 

yes. I love my q2. I’m merely an excited and impatient buyer. While also being particular on my finances, but nonetheless. 😅

FWIW, I've had mine over 3 weeks and haven't had a single lockup. I'm using a V90 Sandisk card, which according to some reports, might partially be the reason why. 

No lockups for me either after 1 week. Before I did anything with the camera, I upgraded to v1.1.0 FW and I use Kingston Canvas React Plus cards which has never given me problems on the SL2-S.

I threw mine at the cat when someone told me how long I might be waiting.

I managed to snag one from leicausa.com just now. I just checked and they're out of stock again.

I wrote a python script to check for the stock status once a minute and if available it sends me a push notification to my phone--so I got to it within a minute. I couldn't feasibly refresh manually that often...

Tried to check out and getting error messages

Aww man... I got on the site last time maybe 2 minutes late. I followed what leica uk told someone on here: make sure all your info is in your account (including card/payment option) and be logged in 5 minutes before 2pm. and it worked!

Yes, that part is very important. It took about 20 seconds from the moment it got in my cart till final confirmation since the addresses and payment info was already there. Having to re-enter the CC number threw me off though.

So frustrated to be stuck here. Poor site design where it allows you to add to cart, and doesn't deduct it temporarily from inventory to allow people to actual enter in/confirm previously entered info to complete checkout.  I clicked through at 3 minutes after the hour and still didn't get one.

I know how you feel. I had it in my cart twice over the past week (even with the script), and couldn't check out

Just out of curiosity, did your script open/refresh the Leica Q3 url and check if the add to cart button is there (or if notify me was not there)?

It programmatically checks the HTML on the Q3 page for a specific tag and if true it sends a pushover notification to my phone. If false, it does nothing. That runs on a loop every 60 seconds.

 

If you're tech savvy enough to run a python script and sign up for a pushover account and download the app, I'll send it over.

Ah I see. Like the css .add-to-cart-wrapper with style=display or something instead of display:none? Might have to give it a go 

I actually found 2 tags. When not in stock, there will be a

"instock":false

tag, the false changes to true when in stock. And near the top there is also

content="instock"

that only shows up when available.

No problem. If you need any help, I'd be glad to pay it forward. As a data point for future reference, it looks like the stock status changed around 2PM EST exactly (I got the push notification at 2:01PM)

Also: direct URL to add the Q3 to cart is: https://leicacamerausa.com/cart.php?action=add&product_id=9495. You should be signed in already before clicking that to make it faster. Obviously that only works when it's available, otherwise you'll get an error message.

Me too.. Also, on my computer, it wouldn't let me type in the field for the credit card. I'm thankful I was able to get one in my cart on my iPad as well.. that form worked just fine.

Oh man, congrats to everyone that snagged on. I’ve been monitoring all morning and had to go to a meeting when it came in stock (again). 

Thank you! It's exactly at 2pm EST. I refreshed the page 4-8 times and it finally loaded. Try again on the 4th, but really devote some time to it on the 11th if you don't get it elsewhere before then! 🤍

 

Also... the site was actually on NYC/NJ's current time. Not actual EST. As that's got the whole daylight savings. (for me in Ca, technical EST is only 2hrs ahead right now. Not the 3 that NYC is.)
