Nice video from the heart Joe. First one of yours I've seen as a current Q2 and SL2-S owner in Australia. I reached a similar milestone and am weighing up the SL3 or maybe an SL3-S (?), not to replace my SL2-S, which I love, but for the larger sensor, phase detect AF and the flip screen. Look forward to the shots from the car show and thanks again for sharing..
Congratulations on the SL3. I am sure it will serve you very well into the future. I'm still learning my Q3 and I believe it meshes well with my D780 as an amature fun clicker combo. Cheers...
Thanks for the review posted here Joe……. New subscriber to your channel….solid takes. Cool to hear about your Q3 unloading…..unbelievable value retention of that rig.
I know Leica glass is great and probably the reason why their images look so great. But. If you had to use Sigma glass, would you still buy a Leica? This is where I’m at right now in my purchase decision.
Good question. I have never used a Sigma camera, I have used their art series lenses and I did for the most part like them. I just rented the Sigma 15 1.4 Fisheye L mount and my intention was to use it for 360 tours of homes and businesses but it takes too much time, 6 hots for 1 image and then it you are doing hdr pics it is draining. I have used it for shooting some cool pics that I will do on my next video.I ordered a Nikon 8-15mm Circular fisheye and I think that will be much less time consuming.
@@PSYCHIC_PSYCHO more than good enough for me. I don't shoot quickly moving people. When eye af don't work, I use point af. Only in harsh adverse light it is not possible, but honestly this is the same for other cameras
@@webersteve1547 Thank you for taking the time to reply. While the SL-3 is for the most part an improvement on the SL-2, the battery life of the SL-3 is well below average, so I might as well invest in the SL-2; thanks
you are going to have such a great time with it :D keep an eye out for firmware updates tho, there is a serious issue that might overwrite an image on your memory card. i'm sure leica is pushing for that update asap =) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MSMNFAtkcSo.html
@@TheJalbertstudios Let me know when you do mate. Well at the moment I'm shooting mostly M and I'll probably get some Leica glass when the time is right. The SL3 and even the SL2 is on the list as I have a project in mind that needs proper weather sealing! :)
It is a great camera. I have had the 2 previous models and I really think the SL3 is a serious step up compared to the SL2 in always every aspect. You are going to love it. Have fun!
@@TheJalbertstudios time will be the ultimate judge…but this camera definitely doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Congrats and enjoy! Totally agree with the AWB. Absolutely incredible in situations that were a nightmare to color correct with other cameras.
