Matt Day gaming side channel would be so hype.

I’ve got the Q2 and absolutely love it. Every time I take photos with it I wish I took more photos because the images turn out so gorgeous. To me the simplicity of use and the gorgeous photos is what the Q2 is. None of the upgrades makes me feel like I “need” a Q3. But I am happy Leica keeps develop this system, it’s a brilliant concept. Only if my Q2 broke I would probably get a Q3 :)

This just made the Q2 a great buy!

Flip screen is certainly a nice touch. That means shooting from a really low angle (or any other awkward positions) is even easier.

I absolutely love the tilt screen on my Fuji X100V. Use it all the time and they made it super sleek. The implementation here looks incredibly solid and definitely a great feature

the internal storage actually would make MORE sense on this camera than the M11.

I believe that one of the nice aspects of the Q/Q2 cameras is that they look pretty close, in terms of the design language, to the M cameras. I think adding the tilt screen, and even worse the plasticky door on the side, are major departure from the industrial look of Q/Q2 and their M sibling cameras. For me it is definitely a less attractive camera than the Q2. I'm hoping that those changes to the body design, somehow, won't make their way into the Q3 Monochrom version. Given the fact that the Q3 Monochrom is a niche camera, it would be great if the pure industrial design of Q/Q2 is kept intact for its design.

Look at that screen flipping up like the back of an M6. Oh Leica I love your love of traditions from the days of yore.

Flip screens 4ever! ... would be nice to have internal storage. ... definitely out of my price galaxy AND definitely my dream camera.

I think I'm ready to sell most of my Nikon lenses, put my savings into buying my first Leica, the q3, and keep my Nikon z6 with the 200-500. It will be a perfect combination for me❤

That's exactly what I am thinking regarding my Canon 5ds. Did you do it? On the one hand, as I get older (63), I find it harder to lug around all the glass and weight. On the other hand, I am reluctant to give up the flexibility. The Q3 will be my first foray into Leica. Maybe I'll get a second M in a few years. Your thoughts?

@@thomaspgumpel8543I have ordered Q3, and sold some lenses, but they cannot deliver before September.

I think the tilting display is a fantastic choice

About that tilt screen: Take a look at Leigh’s Q3 video (Leigh & Raymond Photography), in which she includes some near ground level macro shot. Leigh is recovering from back surgery (in fact, was pending follow-up surgery when she recorded the video). For many people, the ability to shoot low without throwing yourself to the ground, is huge. We all know that, if Leica were to incorporate a tilt screen on a premium camera like the Q, they would use a highly reliable, solidly built mechanism. Yes, Fujifilm managed to make an extremely slim screen for the X100V, and it is strong enough for that camera, but it is nowhere near as robust (see the Z9 for another industrial strength design). The Q is still all-metal, highly weather resistant, and every bit as rugged as it’s predecessors. I agree that a more textured finish, especially in the thumb detent, would be welcome. I always thought (going back to the original Q) that that smooth surface suggested a plasticky construction, which of course is not the case. It would also be great to see some provision for back button focusing.

I also think a tiltable screen makes sense on a Q, yet I don't like how they implemented it making the design less elegant and more clunky. I think the Fuji X100V has done it in a much nicer way. It overall feels just like a camera with more design compromises than the Q2. But that's just my first impression.

Still in love with my Q2. I’m old school and not interested in tilt. I don’t really use the display and 47mp is plenty. Charging hasn’t been an issue with two batteries and it looks like trade in value is very low. Saving up for a few years so that I can buy a used M11. In the meantime my X-T4 and M6 will also be my constant for photo and video! Thanks for the amazing content as always.

Thank you Matt for the nice preview! I just don't see a compelling reason to upgrade from my Q2 to the Q3. The flip screen is just not needed for my photography. Too much like a Sony. In about a year we will probably see a Q3-S with all or most of the features but without the flip screen.

As someone who has found his forever camera with the Leica M5, I’m used to Leica fanboys not know what’s good for them. A tilt screen is literally the only thing I’m missing with film.

Solid review, Matt. Also, I loved the look of your video today!

Re: the people who complain about the flip /tilt lenses, they can always just leave it as is. It doesn't add weight or bulk. It's very helpful to short people, of which I am one, only 5' tall. I don't own any of these cams, I just watched this review since I watch your general non cam review photography vids plus I always like your narrations. I only have a pauper canon M50II and a variety of pauper EF-M lenses hahaha. I use its flip screen all the time since I'm short, I can lift up the cam and tilt the screen to me so I can see.

What lut do you use for color grading your video, please tell me)

Thanks Dad

Well balanced review. Thanks! I get that when you're paying Leica bucks that Leicaphiles will get up in arms over the tilt screen. Personally I think it's a great idea and indeed a bold move for Leica. I have been a full time pro for decades and I go back to the film age with my first Leica being a Leitz Minolta CL and then an M4-P. I could never justify a decent ROI in my business for Leica. So I used Canon, Hasselblad, Mamiya, etc. These days Sony and Fujifilm. I want a Q3! It seems like the ideal bring-it-with-me-everywhere camera. I will get my hands on one later this week to make a determination. I am concerned about the slippery factor you mentioned (first review I've seen to bring it up). I'm hoping it won't be a deal breaker for me. It seems a grip with its extra bulk might defeat some of the purpose of being compact and unobtrusive.

I don't know about the Leica but... cool hair!

Thanks!

Some youtubers looked into to lens en the leica Q3 look and came to the conclusion that the lens looks more like a 24mm instead of a 28mm. So if you want to emulate the look you should look at a 24 mm on full frame.

Great review. If you use the crop mode say 35mm when you play the image back do you see the 35mm crop or does it revert to show you the full 28mm?

It's Christmas every time you post a video

I have been using the Q2 mono for over a year, and I like the idea of the flip screen. I did own the X100V, which I enjoyed using, but I was using it sparingly since I have the Q2 and M11, so I sold it to a friend. I own a sony a7c, and I like how the screen flips around. Will I buy the new Q2? I'll wait for the Q4; enough GAS. On the M11, the visioflex is my flippy screen. The Visioflex could be more stealthy and better for getting low, but it does help.

What aspect ratios does the camera have?

I own both the q2 and q2m and I don’t feel the need to upgrade quite yet. I admit I think they could have done a much better job on the aesthetics of the tilt screen. It’s not a deal breaker but when you’re paying Leica money, aesthetics matter. I also think the lack of internal storage is a big miss. I appreciate your balanced review and I’ll certainly be interested to see a q3m as my current q2m is by far my most used camera.

Thanks for the honest review. Im sticking with the Q2. That tilt screen was the deal breaker.

I sold my Q2 Monochrom after I got a Q1. I fell in love with the Q1 over the Q2M along with other M bodies. Recently I got a Q-P for a long time use since I love the Q1 which I listed for sale. Q-P is beautiful and absolutely the best looking Q among all the Q series including limited editions. I don’t like the Ghost edition, Reporter edition, Dawn edition, etc. Finally Q3 came out. Unfortunately nothing special. Same lens (Q1, Q2, Q3 all same lens) I don’t need that huge 60MP. 24MP with my Q-P is pretty enough. I don’t like a tilting screen. I don’t need 8k video as I don’t shoot video. I will buy a Sony camera for video if I’m in need of one for shooting video. And the design is identical to Q2. It’s just like upgrading a few functions so I would say it’s a Q2U(pgrade), not Q3. Price is $5995. Around $6500 after tax. No reason to upgrade at all. I will keep my lovely Q-P and then 1) I will use $6500 for other electronics such as Samsung 85” TV, iMac, iPad, Apple Watch, MacBook for about $3500. And I will buy Sony/Canon camera and lens + accessories for video for about $3000. Or, 2) I will use $6500 to buy a SL2/SL2-S and SL 24-90mm lens while I keep my lovely Q-P. Answer is quite clear about the Q3. .

Will they make flip out screen? It’ll be easier for selfie photos when traveling with family. It’s nice to see if everyone is on the screen! It’s the only deal breaker for me. I’ll buy it in a heartbeat if it has flip out screen. It’ll be the perfect camera 😆

Yeah the internal memory should be standard going forward, I agree. Oh yeah and we love you too Matt. :)

I laughed so hard when u said dont change it to the M series bout the screen, lol matt still sane

I’ve always known there is a street photographer hiding in you somewhere! Let him come out of hiding I say. Lovely and unique color science in those digital Leicas. Great review Matt.

are we getting a Q3M? if so then i'm all in. the tilt screen is a fantastic addition and much needed especially for my street photography as i often like to shoot from the hip and up until now that has been hit and hope. if leica have put a tilt screen then we should all know its gonna be built like no other tilt screen before! those who doubt this really dont know leica. if i wasnt such a B&W fan then i'd be ordering this asap.

I'm very curious about the Q3 for landscape work? Any thought? I'm not sure that the depth of field issue is so important with a cropped 90mm, since DoF isn't do important with large distances. Thoughts?

Why doesn't Leica offer a 1 to 1 aspect ratio. I like to shoot in square. For the money they charge . They could give you this option like every other camera on the market. It's the reason I use Fuji for this reason. It would be nice to see them finally offer this. Thankyou.

What camera was used to film this KZread video?

Love they added the tilt screen but disappointed it's not a 3-way tilt that will accommodate vertical shooting.

That was the best intro ever

Hello. Incredible! No internal memory or double SD cards. I was waiting for this feature, so much important for me. For this reason I did not buy Q2 and I will not get Q3 neither. I hope Q3 would be my perfect camera but not. What a pity! Thanks Matt for this early information. Cheers

If only they made the screen flush like the Fujifilm X100v, otherwise I'm all for tilty screens, they're nifty!

Having picked up a Q2Mono last week, I genuinely don't feel a need for the Q3 updates for myself yet. The biggest upside for me would be the USB-C charging, but not a deal breaker. Lack of internal storage seems like a huge missed opportunity. Glad to know that the og Q lens still can resolve at 60 megapixels. I get the appeal of a flippy screen, and good to hear the implementation of it feels super solid, but it's super cringe that Leica's entire marketing campaign for the Q3 is "Discover a new perspective". 🙃

the hair looks sick bro

The camera looks incredible. I will upgrade next year maybe…..my Q2 is still amazing. My fave camera ever. If no weddings, I would sell everything and just have one of these. Do you know anything about the ‘Leica looks’ thing people are talking about which can be done via the app?

OG Q for life.

What do you think of the black and white photos? Can they replace or match the monochrome Q2?

Red Dot Forum channel on YT covered that a bit in their Q3 show they just filmed about a week ago, Q2m still wins at higher ISOs because of the B&W sensor (they showed a 12,500 ISO file between Q3 & Q2M) - I have both as I just got my pre-order Q3 and I have been testing myself…Q2M has been winning by a mile in low light situations still.

Man, I want to try a Leica!

I still wish they would make a Leica Q body with a 35mm lens, hopefully they'll make one somewhere down the line.

Nailed the review! some welcome updates like phase, evf usb c, internal storage would have been the whole package. Looking forward to seeing these updates on a sl3 though! Took the opportunity to get a discounted q2 instead which still checks many boxes. Thumb grip is 100% needed

Lower prices on the used market is always a win with the new releases.

No internal memory in the Q3 is a trade off and price point differance compared to M11. Q is mean t to be small as possible/makes sense (less room for memory) and cheaper than M system, so when you add tilt screen (probably more popular than memory) less budget room for memory. Maybe in Q4 when memory gets cheaper/smaller even more. Also now you have tri sensor if you''re running low on space you can drop down resolution.

They should just make an interchangeable Q using the L mount with an EVF and tilt screen. They wouldn’t have to eat into the M body’s iconic styling, and they could appease newer enthusiasts who may want the tech and to not have to calibrate a rangefinder. I personally would love to adapt M glass to a Q and have the EVF for my poor vision and focus peaking. This would make so much sense especially when sigma’s FP is shutterless

Matt, I think Leica missed a trick here. When the Q3 flip screen rumours began I hoped Leica would rather than add a flip screen they would add visoflex compatibility leaving those with old knees like me a shoot down option whilst not alienating those who prefer a fixed screen. I'm mildly irritated that the video option has been given a lift. I resent paying for features for which I have no use with a new battery system to boot. I have an SL2s so if I now upgrade I'm back to two different batteries which I hoped to avoid. Let's hope we have a Leica Q3D with no screen, visoflex compatibility and the Q2 battery. It's wishful thinking. Thanks for the review......

It certainly is tempting for those of us dreaming to own a Lieca.

I mean, it's not like there was ever a "film Q." We have to have at least one system where Leica can try new things.
