It would even be enough if the charger is priced fairly. I bought a vlux5 as a gift for my friend (she loves photography), no charger included. My dealer sold me a no-name one for 15€. Fair.

Is it enough to have the charger priced "fairly," or do you need the camera to be priced "fairly" as well? After all, we keep buying new cameras, but I doubt we will buy more than one dual charger.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

@SrMiproblem is that leica is changing batteries, I can’t use the one from the m10 on the mp240, on the Sl2, on the vlux. So I need chargers. For every camera. I either expect them to be included or to be fairly priced. It’s not such a hightech thing as a camera.

Though out of my range, leica new prices are fairly priced, to me.

I really don’t like charging cameras directly. I load my batteries (always buy spare, can’t have enough) when empty. When loading, I might need my camera, so a loader is a necessary accessory to me.

Pixel Shift

ProRes internal(since we have a CFa card) for 4K & 8K (and not just for 1080)

I like an adapter M to L with AF, now that PDAF is in play.

It does not have to be fast or for everyday use, but why should nikon and sony have one and not the king of M lenses?

For real?!  Nikon has that?

Third-party adapter. I have heard mixed experiences.

Techart PRO Leica M – Nikon Z Autofocus Adapter ver II (TZM-02)

Works well as long as it lasts... there are reports of quality issues

Have you read this gem of an opinion?

The Lloyd Chambers blog continues to set new lows in relevance and new highs in bloated narcissism. Who needs a camera to print them their grocery list anyway. Lloyd does.

With his wide range of shooting styles and subjects, he is obviously the best person to review cameras in the modern era.

... also for SL2 😜

1 ... simple switch to b/w preview like Panasonic
2 ... comment function (audio) of taken pictures like with my Canon (EOS 1) - here I can save a comment to each saved picture on the card - very helpful for documenting the content and the (M)-lens used and the selected aperture

currently it runs at Canon (R3 and R5) under audio memory ... its my most missing feature

I stopped reading that site years ago, when it got very sweary. Also, he was paid to advertise one brand, but couldn't be bothered to mention this in his reviews...

I always thought he should purchase a technical camera, some Rodagons, and whatever digital back he can afford. That's his style of imaging. He could stop worrying about equipment and concentrate on his art. The whole notion of having such a photographer review SLRs is absurd. He isn't made for them and they aren't made for him.

I believe the pixel shift will come as a firmware upgrade.  Anyone think otherwise?

That’s how it surfaced in the SL2. Just really surprised it’s not yet emerged for the SL3. Not clear why it’s taking so long, so starting to wonder if it will be done at all?

Does the SL3 have touch and release? If not, I’d like to see an upgrade with that included. I have a Panasonic S1H and that camera has it. Much more useful than AF focusing only.

In manuel focus mode, a display of distance i viewfinder somewhere.

I want to use the LCD Panel to setup and save my Profiles. It’s easier to do this with the LCD vs the EVF. I mostly use the EVF when using the camera. The problem is when I save the Profile it saves the LCD as the default when I use the LCD to make/save the Profile. So, when I am using the camera with the EVF and switch profiles it defaults to the LCD. My solution is to use the EVF when saving a profile, I would prefer the LCD/EVF not be an option saved with a Profile.
