Everyone is buying this $6000 point & shoot Camera... Why??? 

It’s so tempting

Totally agree, There are way better than this for My 1st camera 📷

And what would those cameras be for someone that wants something versatile (the do all well camera) to take amazing pictures of family memories? Something relatively lightweight?

Buy the Q nt Q2

Bought it as my second and only camera😅 sold Sony a7iii and 3 lenses to afford it

Definitely. The Q2 released in 2019 so the fact that everyone is just putting out videos now is suspect.

I agree but at the same time, as someone who bought a Leica just before this trend began… I get it. Honestly though, I find it weird hearing these guys plug it now because tbh when I first got into this stuff heavily in 2015, I went out and bought stuff on their influence and the Leica stuff was something I had to discover myself through other professionals I was around personally and seeing what they were producing rather than it being marketed to me, so idk, I feel like these plugs almost take away that enjoyment; it becomes less about the individual experience which Leica prides themselves on, with keeping the film camera feel etc. even in digital and just turns it into another commercial product in the pile.

Yeah they must have a new marketing manager that understands youtube influencer potential to drive sales.

They should mention if the Brands are paying to make videos. Else it's very Dishonest!!

The honest truth is I find these guys just love to flex how much money they got. Matti doesn’t even know why the images look so nice… it’s cause of the legendary Leica glass!

Haha except for Fuji

I was thinking this 😂

I was thinking this exactly! Obviously not the same thing, but an X100V is a much more affordable alternative to the Q2 :)

Also the experience on the fuji line is incredible.

First thing I thought was "damn, that looks almost exactly like a Lumix GX9" with a slightly cleaner back

Started with an X100V, then discovered Leica with the Q2. It definitely worth the price and is way better than the X100V (which is a very good camera btw). Full frame + lens + Leica color science make it unique. I tried to move to the SL2-S to be able to change the lenses, but never got the results and feelings I got with the Q2. This camera is unique.

@@hugodouchet is there anything between the two, in terms of cost and performance? an older leica model?>

@@iamrichlol Yes, the Q. But honestly: Don't get fooled, I have two Leicas (M10 and Q) and still bought the X100V. Too many people are romancing a lot with the Leicas but they are not the holy grail as people want to make them …

This Matti guy brags like a liar. Nobody is buying this camera. 95% of people cannot afford this camera. You can actually buy a RED Komodo 6k for $6000.

Had both. Not the same 😀

I second this recommendation - I just bought an X100V and really enjoy it. I’ve shot professionally for years, and this Fuji is making me fall in love with photography all over again.

All x100 models are wonderful, don't needa shell out even that much for a V

Would be interesting to see how the images look to you when you don’t know they came out of a Leitz Camera.

LOL 😂

Peter, I need your boots!

Yeah...Matti and I clearly run in difference circles.

leica doenst need this channel or a push.

100%. Like a Rolex versus the Apple Watch, they both tell time, but one tells everyone that you have plenty of money. And style.

@@AndrewRayFilms Well… you’re half right!😉

Biggest problem is finding one and not spending double the price...

🤷‍♂️ I’m not a photographer. So Leila’s never interested me much. But I was curious now after Peter using it and show me daily the pics he’s taking

You know "Having a Leica doesn't mean you become an excellent photographer, just that you are a Leica consumer"... said someone one day 😉

I got an original Q for 1/3 of the price. Same lens sala body only a 24mp sensor and not weather resistant. Still 1/3 of the price and I love it. That lens is incredible.

@@joao.s.cardosowas looking for someone to ask this to…is the lens comparatively sharper than say a G master lens from Sony or an RF Lens from Canon? 🤔

@@2011troya i had a 100-400 GM from Sony but not recent glass from Canon. It’s different I believe. The GM lens from sony are amazing. But the fact that you can shoot straight at the sun with no flare with the summilux, and from f1.7 to f16 without having to worry about refraction sets these apart from everyone else. If all you care about is sharpness then most hight end lens from any brand are really good. Still this summilux… there is something different about it.

Obviously, Fuji x100v is great, but film is special and I’d choose a Leica and Fuji film over the digital because it forces you to be more deliberate. Digital iterations are cool and made for a seamless process. But some of my favorite cameras include contax g and rolleflex. I’ve spent so much on cameras and equipment, and my Leicas are well use, my m6 is used for than my m11, and the m11 is far better than the camera in this video. But the cameras I use the most are a canon 1d, a Sony a7r5, Fuji x100v, and my iPhone 14 pro. My favorite cameras to use are the Leica m6, the contax g, and the rolleflex. So it’s definitely a passion for me and I don’t think anyone is restricted by a price, they can always rent it and get what they need for much cheaper. But the quality is there and the experience of using such a camera is exciting. Lenses are much more important, such as Carl zeiss, which I have many of. But since most photography these days is digital, even film transferred to digital, editing the photos extremely to the point it’s nowhere near what you see in real life, that’s what sucks. A good camera and good lens needs no editing, a good camera and editing needs no fancy lens, good editing and lens can make cheap cameras seem better. I’d say, this is why genuine film is the best because the developing process is much more tedious and has room for editing photos in a unique way. Nobody needs a lot, just a cheap camera can be used without any fancy lens, like even .3 mp and the one who takes the photo uses their eye to capture wonderful moments. I’m annoyed by those who think they can just disturb reality and make everything artificial just for a photo, but in some application, it’s a cool thing. The best pics are truly organic and it’s done by not inserting yourself into the chaos, but observing as a sovereign entity.

😂😂👍🏽

Basically that. I've only seen popular camera channels talking about this camera lol

A figurative "everyone". Many RU-vidrs live in a bit of a bubble.

I wish I had enough money to be a snob...

@@HrPedrosak Anybody would 😉

This. Peter is your favorite influencer's favorite influencer.

Yes, They are all selling their left testicle to buy this Bomb of a camera!!

The momentum builds

And I want one :)

Lol I literally make videos saying gear does matter. But if you suck then you suck regardless of how good your gear is. Almost always it’s about balance

@@mattih burner 🤣 your guys are like colour change lizard 🦎

Zactly.

Contemplating both the GFX100s and the X2D

Viral marketing and more like cunning trickery to influence audience to shell out more money that they don't have. Influencers like these should be purged on 4th of july!!

Why the T5 over the GFX?

@@CineGui Huh?

@@rockyBalboa6699 You're a dork.

use the 35mm crop mode on the q2, the sensor is 45mp, it doesn't affect much on the iq

Let’s face it, the $6000 price tag is the real deal breaker for all of us..

The fact that it is fixed at all is the real deal breaker, there is no realistic way to make everyone happy, pretty soon they will sell lens adapters your can attach to get a farther mm and at that point you might as well have bought a new mirrorless or gone with the rx100 vii for much cheaper. That being said I think 28mm was a fine focal length to settle on.

I have to say that 28mm used to be my least used focal length. Wide but not wide enough. Much preferred the 24mm focal length. Tried several compact cameras with fixed 28mm lenses (Fuji and Ricoh) and didn’t really gel. Then, last ditch attempt, got a used Q and it was a revelation. Now own Q2 and it’s my go to camera. The one I reach for before my SL2 or my R5.

Ty 😊 🙏🏻

I picked a used Q1 up for $2k from Adorama and have been SO happy with it. Everything I dreamed it would be!

So good! 🙌🏻

Lol probably right. But hey memories are the most important 😊

100%

Try it with the 7artisians 35 f1.2 manual lens. It’s not the perfect lens but does awesome in black and white
