TheLaird Posted February 25 Share #1 Posted February 25 Advertisement (gone after registration) Was in Egypt for a couple of weeks and just home. Had one chap ask me.. great camera does it take great photos? Oh how I laughed. And so did he after we chatted for a while. An American lass asked me .. do you love your Leica? I explained to her while I really liked it, I was not in the habit of taking it to cinema or buying it a meal at a restaurant. and I certainly was not taking it to bed. Anyway, some snaps. This was my wife's holiday idea not mine. We have been a few times to Cairo and down the Nile, but she wanted to go again, especially to the new Great Egyptian Museum in Cairo. GEM, as it is called, has had a soft opening but is till awaiting the arrival of the boy king and his trinkets. Another thing that got me was the number of people doing what I am told is a TikTok video. That was quite good as a I was able to photograph some people rather than the artefacts. There is now way they can complain as they are in an open space, getting their photos taken. I have not included any of the inside shots but was amazed at the quality of the Q3 images from within tombs at 6400 ISO. Welcome, dear visitor!

gbartdigi Posted March 7 Share #15 Posted March 7 Great photos. Taking a similar trip and would like to take as little gear as possible. Considering taking the Q3 but wondering if I might miss a longer focal length for some of the larger scale destinations. Would you take the same setup again? Thanks, G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, G With the exception of wildlife (and Egypt is not a wildlife destination) any Q will work well - Remember you can crop like crazy and still get excellent results.
