LEICA Q3 REVIEW / The better X100VI? 

Great video ! I’ve watched quite a few videos on the Q3 but yours is the first to really show the differences in image details over the two previous Q’s. Although those differences are slight, they are enough for me to seriously consider purchasing even though I own both it’s predecessors.

My heart have been chasing that camera for long, thankfully my brain is rationally in line with my wallet and I steamed out by now. I agree about the quality of that Summilux lens, it’s the key point for sharpness and micro contrast that makes Leica images look different. The closest I can get with my Fujifilm Xpro3 is with the xf18mm f/1.4 WR that is such a great lens but my Fujifilm lacks the second interesting part of this that not many people speaks about, with 60mp I do like the real time crop option from the Q3 even if just in JPEG. With such great glass and sensor, it’s easy and nice to have like 3 lenses in 1. Even if compression and dof are not exactly the same, most of street photography does not use shallow dof anyway. My major concern is just one (aside price) and you have touched it more in the comments than in the video: Leica look comes 60% of the lens, 40% of the post processing. That for me does not make Fujifilm better but the truth is none of the images I’ve seen from a Leica so far are SOOC, instead those are the result of post processing excellent editing. Congratulations your images are amazing but I guess that part of those are because you’re using your Lightroom presets. Summing up, physically a Leica allows great images from the start because one gets amazing core product to work with but it’s a mistake to buy a Leica thinking about the practicality of using those images without proper editing (like a Fujifilm with film simulations). I’m I wrong?

Great video. Beautiful colours!

To adress long startup time: set the standby time to the lowest (30s i think) and just leave the camera on. Thats how i shoot all day without switching the Q off. When you see something, just hit the shutter half way and the camera wakes up in about 1s. Great Video by the way and stunning editing especially with the colors! You should really consider selling some presets ;) Cheers!

Great video and fantastic job and editing 📸👌

Great video! I have Q3 on my watchlist but unfortunately I will not buy it until freezing problem is solved. Think Leica M10 series is a better choice, like the size & quality

nice one mate, done the same as you, as a fuji guy I get a Q3 in january and since then shot more than 5k photo, also obtained a x100VI thru a crazy trade and despite it's a lovely camera I simply can't separate from the Q3. can I ask you what kind of skin have you put on? the dot is simplu covered or substituted with a black one (as I've also done)? cheers from italy, come back soon!

Love your pics!

How can something be the better version if its literally 4x the price? I could buy a x100vi for my whole family with the price for the Q3.

Sony needs something similar. Already a Sony senior in this

Hello There ! Did you try the Q3 in video mode ? Great video by the way.

Well explained!

Woah, what shutter button are you using? Looks real sleek!

Great video, what’s your editing workflow? Presets?

thank you

heavy and expensive, but photographers are richman ,i choose A7CR/II+28 F2/35 F1.8

I would indeed expect it to be better than the Fuji for such a redicoulous price ?

Does it freeze?

Does the lens hood fit on the Q3 with the Everyday filter from shortstache attached?

What is the app you are using for editing?

It better be 3 times better for the price

Mate, that is a Q2 you are holding, and you talking about Q3!
