Fun fact, the Leica T has two SD card slots! If you have a small screwdriver you can take the two screws out of the plastic plate and replace the internal 16gb internal storage to a bigger storage, it's a microSD and it's not soldered or anything.

As a huge Leica owner, this is a great starter camera into the Leica world. Two things to keep in mind, one there is no EVF so you will have to rely on the back screen and two be careful in sunny days, any screen in a bright day is hard to use.

The camera itself is aesthetically pleasing but, that aside, you're paying for the Leica name. It has a fixed screen and slow autofocus and only 16MP.

@@Desert-edDave Unfortunatly, I‘m not on anyones payroll. Your comment feels very sarcastic to me. So, why do you think Leica is a big fake machine? Some think, all brands use the same sensors from Sony, but thats not true. The sensor of my Leica M 240 comes from an independent company in Belgium. But most of all, use a Leica Summilux 50 f2 on a mirrorless camera like Sony A7 (my preferred camera brand bevor switching to Leica). Maybe you see the difference, or you don‘t. If not, don‘t judge the one who does. Next, there is definitely a big difference in the camera user interface. In the last 40 years, I‘ve used a Lubitel II, Nikon FE10/F60/F80, Mamiya 645 Super, some Nikon S cameras, Lumix lx100, Sony a6000, A7M2, A7RM3 and now a Leica Q and M240. I loved all cameras. I bought them because they fit in my prefered photo style. At last, I‘m extremley happy with a simple, manual camera. The A7s feature overkill has stopped my creativity. Over all, the Mamiya and the Leica are the best tools with the best lens and picture quality for my kind of photography. They aren‘t the best tools for sport photography. That doesn‘t mean they are are useles, overpriced luxury toys. So, what are you talking about?

Though, to be fair, this was perhaps more a case of Fuji's lenses just being much better. Build quality was excellent but beyond this and the red badge prestige I found the results underwhelming. Wish I still had it though because it was a beautiful thing.

Fujinon lenses of the time were optically corrected. I recall, not sure if correctly, in its time both Zeiss for Sony and Fujifilm aps-c and Leica for this mount were digitally corrected. I imagine now that in that time technology was enough to have a natural look as many cameras today, but I had a strong prejudice against digitally corrected photos, as it resulted in stretched low resolution corners.

Yup it's almost 3 grand when I last checked pretty nuts if you ask me.

10 years ago you could get a Sony A7 (the first one they made). It was 24MP, had a digital viewfinder, and could be adapted to a leica mount if you want. It was also the smallest a7 ever made and can be bought for $200-300 today. Objectively better in every way to this Leica if you don't care about a red sticker on the front. The Leica was not ahead of it's time and lacks a lot of the convenient features of Sony and canon.

Samsung and Ricoh did similar design minus the touch screen. I remember something weird about it . Some issue that need a workaround.
