Great sample shots! When not using the hood, why not use the thread protector ring?

where is the link?

Red Dot!

I am going to wait 10 years and buy a used Q3 to save at least $300 off current retail price.

Exhausting listening! Any chance you could consider taking a breath between phrases? It may well help this listener enjoy much more what I found to be a great users review. Thanks for posting your experience with the Q3. I’ve have just managed to grab one for myself. Cheers. 😅

Yellow Chin Shit 😂

Fantastic review. Such a well done video.

is it SOOO much better than an iPhone?? Q3 is after all a point and shoot camera.

Had many Leica’s including film ones and agree that not all digital ones are good. However Leica gets it right more often than some others and even bad ones have character. I think Leica philosophy is sometimes this purist thinking that encourages you to fall back to your artistic side and forget camera completely. I know that’s probably nonsense, because most cameras today are usually more capable than 99 % of its users can ever be and the sky is the limit but some things are at least perceivably different. As most cameras scream to you here are MY capabilities use them, Leica is quiet and allows you to be better you. Encouraging you to fall back to basics of light, composition and simple moment in time reminding you that less is more.

Looks like Sony finally released the new Sony rx1r iii?

Did you say $6,000? Leica store in Sydney is advertising at $10k

Fujix100v

Hi, I'm particularly interested to know which camera you used to capture the shot at the 0.05 mark right at the beginning. I really appreciate that cinematic touch. :)

Hey I managed to get a Q3 but going to go back to my M11, anyone want to buy mine?

Om Sai Ram jai sai Sri sai 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Red Dot! so will i get one for free now?

I guess, that you are still very much attached to the Fuji thinking. The Leica is something different. The Fuji tries to give you, what it thinks you want. The Leica tries to help you find the essence without interfering. Hence the "looks". The Leica "Looks" are basically LUTS, while the Fuji "looks" are Filters. They change the image, which is a strange thing in Leica thinking.

🔴 Just received my Q3 today, now to get rid of the Q2…

such a nice red dot review!

Believe me when I tell you that not all Leicas are good. I've owned two digital Leicas which were absolutely awful and the QC was appalling. So they are not the holy grail that so many make them out to be. Can't fault their film cameras, but their digitals (for me at least) have left a lot to be desired.

How much really buttery bokeh you get with 28mm lens lol and to say you can't reproduce it with a GM... lol I'm sorry but this is BS

Red Dot 🔴

Agree with everything, except Bokeh....As a photographer you should know that depends on true focal length, and distance from subject ......

Leica lens is only f1.7 not f1.4 maybe Sony A7RV better ?

lol

Massive hole in the wallet. 🤣😂🤣

Nice review totally agree..

Red dot!

finally someone on the internet has spoken a word about leica looks. was curious about it. thanks for the video, it's great!

Looking to get my hands on one of these beauties! Thanks for the review. Does anyone know what the wait times are like?

I would look for a Q2 in good condition over this and save a couple grand.

So, you don’t believe in ’leica look’, but still say that 3d-pop is so great that you cannot do the similar with other cameras like Sony. I consider Leica look as a combination of marvellous lens contrast (which creates that pop) combined with vivid colour science and wide colour spectrum (without tricks with white balance or global colors). Only sharpness (in Sony’s, clinical) doesn’t create that pop, and pop can be created without sharpness (soft look but looks sharp). It is indeed difficult to imitate Leica look only by adjusting colours & vibrance together with clarity and without over-doing it.

Andrew...You have been the first reviewer of the Q3 that gave me the one thing that I require from a camera review...PHOTOS! Not just photos but bangers all the way around! Don't tell me what it can do, SHOW ME.

Red Dot 🔴

Red dot. And yes, Leica's lenses just make photos that look a little different. You have to use one to appriciate it.

Nice review. I was wondering what SD card are you using and what are your resolution settings (MP, JPG+RAW?). Ex-owner of a Q2 for 3 years, the ergonomics of Q series is very well thought out, I see Q3 as an improvement with all the in camera charging and tilt screen for example.

Great review. I'm waiting for mine to arrive.

Put another card slot in it and you have a camera for weddings

I had a Q2 Monochrom, and found it to be a high quality and fun camera. I only sold it because I ordered an M11 Monochrom. Next year, I plan to get a Q3, because I miss the look and feel of the Q design.😊

Red Dot I love how you review the Leica Q3 but keep mentioning the Fujifilm X100V! 😅
How would you rate the low light capabilities of the Q3? Did you have issues with LED lights, like banding?

For me, the Q2M and Q3 demand the addition of the hand and thumb grips. The ergonomic upgrade with those accessories is quite substantial.

Nice review, thanks! I always shoot with Fuji, but unfortunately no rangefinder cam is actually in their portfolio. So I am also on the waiting list for the Q3...

Might be clearer to say $6K USD which is $9K+ AUD
