Want the Q3 43 over the Q3 28? Or already own Q3 28 and also want the Q3 43?

Have had the Q3 since intro days, got the Q3-43 since yesterday. Will take both on  the next trips to see if I use both.

I sold my Q3 28 and replaced it with the Q3 43. I considered keeping the Q3 28 but decided that if I wanted both on a trip (or even just a day out), I have other options available. It might even encourage me to use my lovely CL that has been feeling a bit neglected since the Q3 was released.

I mostly cropped the Q3 28, as 40mm has always been my happy spot. So I'm not regretting the loss of wider, and I have tried the tighter crops available with the Q3 43.

The only thing I miss is the charger! Only being able to charge in camera is limiting, especially when you've used more than one battery through the day. Hopefully I'll have a new charger before my next trip away.

If you have a TL11-23mm to go with your CL you would be well placed to cover the wider angles without needing to crop. Or if you prefer fixed focal lenses you may already have a TL18mm or Sigma 16mm.

I have the TL 11-23 and the TL 18, so they both provide wide angle back up should I need them.

At the moment for me Q3 is the leader, in my opinion Q43 has a lot of pink in the Barbie style.(greetings from Panasonic)

Maybe I'm just jealous.

Please point me in the direction of a Q3 43 image with "a lot of pink".

Пожалуйста, укажите мне на изображение Q3 43 с «большим количеством розового».

I don't feel comfortable pointing out photos of site users here. Let's put it this way: 70% of portraits have a not quite natural pink tint. But this is purely my personal opinion, maybe I'm wrong. It upsets me a little, since I myself am going to buy a q43 for photographing people. (I'm looking at photos on an iPad Pro 2022)

Since we're talking about the technical performance of the camera, not the quality of the portraits, there is no reason not to show us examples where you think there is "a lot of pink in the Barbie style."

Поскольку мы говорим о технических характеристиках камеры, а не о качестве портретов, нет причин не показывать нам примеры, где, по вашему мнению, "много розового в стиле Барби".

Okay, maybe I'll get up the nerve soon and show you what Barbie's color looks like in my opinion
