I owned a Leiqa Q many years ago and loved it. So last year, I bought a Grey Leica Q. The Grey plastic was horrible, so I sold it after a month. Now, I am maybe investing in Q3. I found reports of two who thought it was too plasticky. How is Q3 43 stacking up? Is it still plasticky?

OK, I am a snob. But for that amount of money, I don't want my camera to feel plasticky. 

 

I saw the Q2 reporter. It seems to be all plastic also. 

 

I have tried to look at pictures for Leica Q2 and Q3, but it's hard to understand what plastic is or is not. Please help

Do you mean that it sticks to your fingers in the heat?

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

That’s a massively statistically significant number…not…

For the record, none of my Q cameras feel plasticky. On the contrary, they feel very high quality.

OP, from Sweden, seems to have disappeared since starting this hare running.  He wouldn't have connections to a company whose name begins with "H" would he?

For the record, my Q2M doesn't feel plasticky.

there is a broken and almost disassembled camera Q2 .  I can try to send a photo if anyone is interested

So the metal and gorilla glass cracked, but the plastic didn't?  Interesting.  Disappointing to see these stress fractures with normal wear and tear.

What happened to this cam? Overrun by a tank?

They put it in a blender, probably ;-).

То есть металл и стекло горилла треснули, а пластик нет? Интересно. Разочаровывающе видеть эти трещины от напряжения при нормальном износе.

The case is completely made of metal, which looks like a magnesium alloy.(Back cover, Top, Bottom, Front) Plastic lens only.

She fell from a very high altitude

My Nikon Z8 is plasticy... My Qs are not (Q2M/Q3).

The only survivor of this accident is a Japanese lens protection filter🤔

So, the model didn't like your work?

Итак, модели не понравилась ваша работа?

He liked the work. Burst with envy.
But it would be better if he survived

That's true, but it didn't do a very good job at protecting the lens. I'd be asking for my money back !

Sell it on eBay: mint condition, minor scratches. No returns.

If you are interested, I can post a photo of what the viewfinder, matrix and battery without housing look like :)
