@@LoightaFluwid We love to do general comparisons and rankings. It will absolutely happen as soon as the companies stop making all these new cameras!!
As someone who's amazingly not spent much time with this series, I'm genuinely interested in the price justification. Obviously many of the specs are familiar from more affordable cameras, so is the money here mostly going on the lens? The build? The design? The brand? The processing? The exclusivity? I'm not putting it down, nor any luxury product, but again I genuinely wondered about the value / performance aspect. I also realise there are some products that just make their owners feel good, and that can be priceless and hard to quantify, and equally I know as you get higher-end in any category, you're paying a lot for often small improvements. I have that with hifi and coffee for example! I suspect this sensor and AF system will end up in a future high-end Lumix body, possibly the S1R successor, and I bet the EVF res won't miraculously stay high while autofocusing on final firmware as it's a common issue across multiple cameras and brands. Anyway, I'm delighted to see any new fixed lens compact - we need more of them, and I wish Panasonic would re-enter the fray with a new LX. Wonder what's next for the X100 series too...
There is no 'value' in a Leica product. It's about a handmade product from a luxury camera maker although these modern digital Leicas are probably less handmade than their film cameras. Get a Fuji or Panny if you want value - no disrespect intended.
The brand It is everything here, and what goes with it for materials and engineering quality, design aesthetic the and visceral ownership experience of a luxury item.
I wouldn’t ordinarily consider such a camera but 2 years ago I went on holidays with an XT4 a 16 1.4 and 35 F2… I pretty much used the 16 99% of the time.. This camera feels like a one and done solution. But due to the price there are many countries I wouldn’t take this lens in fear of theft. I’ve owned the X100V and sold it and I won’t buy it again because the battery is too small and the EVF feels too small for me. An X100V with a 18mm 1.7, XPro3 sized EVF, 5.76 res, dual card slot with XT4 battery would 100% make it on my shopping list.
@@robmcd I have an X100V and really like it. I agree both the battery and viewfinder could be bigger, but otherwise it's almost perfect for me. If they fitted the 40mp sensor in the next one, they could also go for a wider lens and exploit cropping. Your spec list sounds great, but price aside, I fear it would become too large and lose some of its charm.
Having taken early retirement, I got back into photography one year ago (after a long, long...long break). Chris's review of the Lumix FZ2500 was one of the first, and best, things I watched. Chris and Jordan as a pair are even better! Keep up the great work. 👍👍👍
@@klarkolofsson Thanks! You're referring to the FZ2500? If so, nice to have the corroboration - I've read lots of reviews of this camera, nearly all of which praise the video capabilities of the FZ2500, and which, while they're complimentary, are less effusive about it's performance as a stills camera. Having owned it for a year, I have to say that I am very happy with it. Certainly I could spend three times the money and get something superior...but I'd have to spend three times the money!
I‘m way more optimistic and budgeting 4000 Euro for 2033. I‘ll have to save 400 per year or 1.10 per day in case I‘m hoarding cash instead of investing. In other words, it‘s one less hamburger per day at McDonalds, and I don‘t like McDonalds. So, where‘s the problem? 🎉
Fair play to Leica... they have survived the digital crisis and now they are well and truly a Veblen brand. They only have to do minimal upgrades and you will want it.
Anyone in this Leica class were going to upgrade even if it had less features than the Q2 lol. From someone on the outside looking in this is just about the most soulless camera I've ever seen from Leica
I knew, I knew...I have to start "selling" this camera to my wife who, of course, wouldn't understand why I need yet another camera. I used to have the Q1 and loved it. Then I moved to the Sonys (which are more practical than any Leica) but the Q3 is a gem. Not only a great camera.
@@SomeDudeSomewhere i have an X-H1, and have previously owned an x-t30, Fuji's are great but I own a Leica M4 and used a Leica Q before in store, and I'm sorry, they're in another league to Fuji's offerings. Overpriced? Most definitely, but that's because they have literally zero competition

@@SomeDudeSomewhere it's not about technical quality, nowadays any decent camera from the last 5 years is more than enough quality wise, it's about the experience of using the camera, something Fuji does better than most other manufacturers, but Leica is abother step up again
@@SomeDudeSomewhere and I disagree 🤷 there definitely are rich people who treat leicas as a fashion accessory and never actually use it, but it's also unquestionably true that they simply do certain things better than other brands: 1) Large optical viewfinder with a optical focus patch 2) 70 year lineup of high quality manual focus lenses, the lenses are also way smaller than even APSC lenses. 3) simple and intuitive physical and software controls. Now those things may not be important to you, and that's fine, but that doesn't mean that they are only "good because they cost a lot". The reason they were able to get away with charging so much in the first place is because they made a good product, the pricing *is* out of control, but it doesn't take away the actual tangible benefits the cameras have
SO glad you guys are still cranking on PetaPixel! I'd like to know about how effective the IBIS is with the 60MP sensor. Also, is there any benefit with the lower resolution settings because I understand it still uses the entire sensor. Does the camera pixel bin to have any improvement in dynamic range or noise in that case (if it does)? (edit: it seems Leica might have confirmed a while back that on the M11 there's no benefit to dynamic range or noise when selecting a lower resolution…wonder if that's still the case with the Q3?) (edit 2: Kai W reports that medium and small file sizes gets a 1 stop increase in dynamic range over large)
2:18 That fantastic 28mm lens is the best 26mm lens Leica ever built: I did a comparison between my Q and a friend's Batis 25, and it turns out the outputs were almost identical.
Best intro ever. When You consider a upper end Mirrorless from Canon, Sony or Nikon with a fast prime and You are at about the same money. Maybe it's time for a Leica for Me.
Waiting for the Q3 after loving the Q2M. HDMI out, well with no mic jack kind of funny. But it's a stills camera for me anyways. Time to sell some cameras :D
Nice, I have my RX1R for this use and still have no plan to s pm urge anything even remotely close to a Leica price but man... We need more of this type of camera
I was recently thinking of how awesome would be when the Leica Q3 releases to have the new Panasonic Phase Detect Auto Focus. In addition having the tilt screen and the video capabilities makes the Leica Q3 and even better All-In-One proposition. With these upgrades Leica Q3 will be fine for the next 5 years at least!
This makes the Q2 look even more interesting to me, for a few reasons: 1. The Q2 will possibly become slightly cheaper now on the used market (unless everyone shares my train of thought..) 2. The 60MP sensor is just too high res for my use. 3. The flip screen looks a bit misplaced and clunky on an otherwise super sleek camera. IMO they solved that better on the X100V, where it sits more flush towards the back of the camera. I'm sure this camera is absolutely incredible for the right person though :)
As someone who pretty recently bought a used Q2, I can say that its sensor has more than enough resolution for my needs. There are occasions where a tilt-screen would be useful; but in a way that seems antithetical to its range-finder antecedents. 🙂
I was a bit confused as to how 5.76M Dot EVF == 1600 x 1200 but it is perhaps a ECX339A OLED Microdisplay (or something similar). The Resolution is described as UXGA（1600×RGB×1200). To me this feels like it is really just a 1.92M dot EVF albeit an especially nice OLED display...
When the resolution is specified in dots, it is the number of sub-pixels which are each either red, green or blue (or sometimes other sets of colors are used). One pixel is usually composed of three sub-pixels. 1600*1200*3=5760000
@@MichaelSchagen I get it and I agree but if someone described my 4K OLED TV as a 24,883,200 dot display it would feel to me like a a bit of a marketing swizz although technically accurate.
Leica, If you want to really tempt those of us who haven’t bought into a Leica please please please offer a version with a 35-40mm lens. Zooming in with the step crops, as this model allows, is not the same.

In your opinion, considering the super high resolution sensor, won't the pictures be too much heavy for the laptop to edit and postproduce? Thanks a lot...
Sony A7C II should be broadly similar with interchangeable lenses and mic input of course. Crossing fingers Great videos by the way. Keep them coming. You are on fire…..
@@0action847 agreed. I would venture to guess Sony product managers are discussing options with folks like us trying to find what would entice us into upgrade. I love my A7C it is truly do it all camera. It works as webcam. It works as photo camera. It works for travel. It works for arranged photo shoots. I am thinking of few things that would make it better. 40+ MP would be nice. Fast full electronic shutter like ZV-E1 or A9. Slightly bigger EVF with higher resolution, higher res rear screen.
Is there going to come a review of the full production Q3? I‘m struggling with the price and think about getting a used Q2 instead, therefore the full review would be helpful
I really wish they’d make a Q with a 50mm lens. I loved everything about my q2.. except the focal length. I ended up selling it and getting a m10, but I much prefer the Q formfactor and autofocus is a bonus.
Cropped to 50 mm, one still gets 19 Mpx on the Q3, which isn't far short of the 24 Mpx of the M10, but of course, the depth of field will still be that of a 28 mm lens.
? If you take 2 pictures from the identical location, one with a 50mm lens and one with a 28mm cropped to 50 mm, they will look absolutely identical. The only difference is if you want a very shallow depth of field; the 28mm f1.7 will act as a 50mm f3 when cropped to 50mm.
@@brafman1 no it won't... my 50mm images from the m10 look entirely different than the q2 images cropped. Subject distortion from 28mm is entirely different than 50mm. Lens compression from 28mm is entirely different than 50mm.
@@TomPhotoix That is simply incorrect. Compression depends purely upon distance to subject, not the focal length of the lens. As long as you are standing in the same place, taking the picture with a 50mm lens and taking the picture with a 28mm that you then crop yields the identical image. The key is you must be standing in the same place so the distance to the subject in the two pictures is the same. Moving closer to the subject with the 28mm is the only thing that could change the compression; it is the distance to subject that matters.
Good review. But was waiting for your review (or preview) of the Fujifilm X-S20, and...nothing. Fujifilm launch strategy for the X-S20 is weird, to say the least.
I would have thought that wireless charging might have warranted a mention. Yes you need the optional grip (which is an even better hand hold IMHO) but that's still very cool.
Keep em coming Chris & Jordan - will never have the money for a Leica, but more than happy to watch you guys discuss one.

Cropped to 50 mm, one still gets 19 Mpx on the Q3, which isn't far short of the 24 Mpx of the M10, but of course, the depth of field will still be that of a 28 mm lens.
@@Gynra yeah it’s not the same. I used my q2 in 50mm crop a bit and it looks just like a cropped wide angle image.
? If you take 2 pictures from the identical location, one with a 50mm lens and one with a 28mm cropped to 50 mm, they will look absolutely identical. The only difference is if you want a very shallow depth of field; the 28mm f1.7 will act as a 50mm f3 when cropped to 50mm.
@@brafman1 no it won't... my 50mm images from the m10 look entirely different than the q2 images cropped.
Subject distortion from 28mm is entirely different than 50mm.
Lens compression from 28mm is entirely different than 50mm.
@@TomPhotoix That is simply incorrect. Compression depends purely upon distance to subject, not the focal length of the lens. As long as you are standing in the same place, taking the picture with a 50mm lens and taking the picture with a 28mm that you then crop yields the identical image. The key is you must be standing in the same place so the distance to the subject in the two pictures is the same. Moving closer to the subject with the 28mm is the only thing that could change the compression; it is the distance to subject that matters.
Good review.
But was waiting for your review (or preview) of the Fujifilm X-S20, and...nothing. Fujifilm launch strategy for the X-S20 is weird, to say the least.
I would have thought that wireless charging might have warranted a mention. Yes you need the optional grip (which is an even better hand hold IMHO) but that's still very cool.
Wondering if the manual focus ring is so sensitive as sony lenses
Interesting first look. The tilt screen would be the only feature that really tickles me. Nothing else would make me 'upgrade'.
yeah, a lot of the features are common things on some other models to improve quality of life or user experience it sounds like.
Is there any improvement to its geotagging feature?
Watching Leica videos makes me appreciate my Pentax K-70 even more.
