This is a superb and highly detailed introduction to the Q3. Thank you for this. I don't think my pockets can yet stretch from my current Q2 to the Q3 but at least I know what to expect when I'm ready! Oh, and the Q3 DOES have perspective control now. That's the feature I was hoping to see in the Q2 firmware upgrade but it didn't happen so good news there. I like the tilt screen as well. This is a solid upgrade from Leica as far as I can tell.

@mathphotographer Год назад

Thanks for your comment. Crossing fingers you can switch soon to the Q3, the upgrade is, as you said, a very solid one and worthwhile to consider.

Excellent content, Math! I enjoyed watching the video a lot! Say, do you have some hints on this in comparison to the X2D? I want to strip down my gear and just choose one daily driver for documentary shooting. It is either the X2D with a 38mm or the Q3. Any opinions? 😅 I miss the rangefinder style on the X2D even though it is excellent ergonomically.

@GeoffGrant2010 Год назад

@erick9762 Год назад

Thank you Math for this video! By far the best video I've seen on this camera! Two questions: - The Q3 has a maximum recording time of 29 minutes. Is this still the case with an Atomos? - Does the Q3 have an external microphone output? If not, it's really a big lack (unacceptable). Thanks a lot!

@jonassekondi931 Год назад

For the microphone there is usually only an input, and the output is always for headphones or amplifier, preliminary or final.

@mathphotographer Год назад

Thank you for your kind feedback. I don't think you have restrictions when recording to the Atomos but I will find out next weeks. The Q3 has no microphone input but I will try to get it work via USB-C, its one of the things I have on my list for trying out.

@stevenbirds2920 Год назад

Thank you for posting such a well prepared and be delivered video about this new camera from Leica. It’s so refreshing when the presentation is given at a conversation pace and the audience has time to assimilate the information being presented. If there is time in a subsequent offering it would be beneficial to prospective purchaser new to the Q to see a series of images which compare the relationship between the perceived comparative depth of field for images taken in the Q2 cropped method compared to images taken at their true focal length with an interchangeable lens camera at the same focal lengths, shutter speeds and iso. A discussion around the above would help address questions about how comparable, if at all, the digitally cropped image looks compared to the image taken with a native lens of the same aperture. Kindest Regards.

@mathphotographer Год назад

Thanks for your positive feedback. I will consider to address your suggestion, great proposal!

@user-zp5fz5ov1l 4 месяца назад

Beautifully done. Thanks very much. Peace

@nicktangousa Год назад

Nice intro to the Q3. I now have mine too. Btw. The screw thread on the shutter release is only for the soft release button accessory. There is no cable release on the Q3.

@daviddb4858 Год назад

Great review of an amazing camera! A couple quick questions: 1) What are the pixel counts (MP's) for the crop values (35, 50, 75 & 90) at each of the still photo resolutions (60, 36, & 18)? 2) Can you reposition the digital crop from the center of the screen (for example when making a portrait)? 3) Do you recommend a protection filter? and...Does adding a filter cause vignetting when using the lens hood? Yes, tutorials would be great, one for the still photo mode, and one for video mode! The Q3 looks like a great everyday carry (EDC) camera, as long as you have a nice bag or satchel to carry it in. Thanks, as always.

@mathphotographer Год назад

There is a detailed table in the Q3 manual on page 126 which shows all crop resolutions for L, M and S settings. The manual can be downloaded here: leica-camera.com/en-int/photography/cameras/q/q3-black/technical-specification On your second question, the crop sits always in the center of the frame and you cannot recompose and move the crop frame. On your third question: I use a Leica original UV filter on the lens and the lens hood fits perfectly on top (over) it.

@JoelWolfsonPhoto Год назад

@charles4863 Год назад

As always I am appreciative of your comprehensive review. Regarding installing firmware updates, does Q3 provide change that preclude need to copy firmware on external card and then install the card on camera to carryout update?

@mathphotographer Год назад

You can upgrade via firmware file on SD-card, inserting and starting the process, or, much more convenient, connect the Q3 to the Leica Fotos App and installing the new firmware via WiFi or "USB-C to Lightning" cable connections. Works both flawless.

@ianforber Год назад

Love the hinge screen - a feature I asked Leica for in their survey. Shame they changed the button layout though. I bought the M11 instead of the M10-R in part because it had the same button layout to the left of the rear screen so that I could set them the same.

@mathphotographer Год назад

The hinge screen is a real plus, yes! On the new button layout: you get used to it very quickly, after using it for a while its like it never had been differently.

@johnbowyer6902 Год назад

I wish, though, that the shutter speed was increased to at least 1/4000 th sec. but still there are really big and meaningful upgrades to this series of camera. Thanks for the upload.😊

@mathphotographer Год назад

Faster than 1/2000sec only works with electronic shutter, correct. And that means be careful with moving subjects and rolling shutter effects.

@dieseldavey Месяц назад

Hi thanks for the video. What screen protectors do you use I like the Matt look.

@garymc8956 Год назад

First thing I did with my Q2 was to put the lens cap back in the box and used the rubber KURVD cap. Works great and a lot cheaper to replace. I would do the same with the Q3.

@geertvancompernolle8401 Год назад

a review as we expect from you, to the point accurate and no empty talk. Although it is akready exceptional that you indicate some differences between the 3 MP selections, I would appreciate some more detail such as what do you mean by best performance ratio for 36MP and low noise for 18MP, do you mean on the same level as the SL2-S?

@mathphotographer Год назад

Many thanks Geert. What I mean by that is that in L-resolution the Q3 has 14 stops of dynamic range. If you choose M- or S-resolution you get 15 stops of dynamic range so a bit better performance in low light. I am working on a demonstration for a video on that topic since it involves the new pixel binning algorithm from Leica which is very interesting.

@victorcarmelo8606 Год назад

Thank you for another great video. Assume since you did not mention it, the Q3 has the same constraints regarding long exposure as the Q2? Thanks and regards.

Great video! I just received my Q3 and can't help but notice it feels a lot more plastic compared to my Q2. The lens cover, SD card door, front of camera texturing, and overall the body feels more thin and plastic-like. When I pick up my Q2, it feels like a cold tank, but the Q3 feels much different. Do you agree?

@borisharold Год назад

but the most important for me would be to know more about colours coming from the Q3 ( raw ) ? it does look quite similar to the Q2 but the the Q(1) was quite more pinkish / organic while the Q2 got a more earthy rendering . I would love to know more about the "colour science ' of this upgrade .. many thanks

Once you get used to it, the change of location of buttons will not irritate your shooting workflow. And back-button focus works as before like a charm if you customise the camera for it. Thanks for your kind feedback.

@kevinbuja8105 Год назад

I am waiting for the Q3 M. I bought a used Q2 but it was an open box. I had the M 11 was never really happy with it. Have owned every Monochrom model that Leica has made; the very 1st M Monochrom, 246 Monochrom, M10 M. I grew up shooting film specifically 4x5, ad I have to say, that even the very 1st Monochrom, were nearly as sharp as my 4x5 work.

@jeffbertie8603 Год назад

Thanks for all the highlights, great video! Quick question for anyone who has the Q2 vs Q/Q-P...I just got the Q3 delivered yesterday and also have a Q-P. I find that on the Q3, there is a slight 'lag' between when i start turning the manual focus ring and when the EVF/LCD displays the magnified view. On the Q-P, there is almost no lag at all - it's basically instant. I find this a bit annoying on the Q3 as it slightly impacts my ability to capture a photo at a precise moment after nailing focus via the magnified view. For anyone who has a Q3/Q2, do you have a similar experience compared to the Q? Thanks!

@mathphotographer Год назад

No lag on my Q3, Jeff. I will look into it again but did not notice any lagging when switching from autofocus to manual focus.

Excellent! I switched from the SL2 to the SL2-S for the BSI 24mp sensor. I have found a substantial improvement in low light conditions over the SL2. Now with the new Q3 sensor, I am curious as to its low light/high ISO performance.

Two video on the Q3 are in the making for next couple of weeks: One on shooting cityscapes at night, images are processed already, terrific image quality. Another one on dynamic range and high ISO behaviour. I will try to address all points people might be interested in when posting these two videos.

@@mathphotographer Thanks!

Thank you for the comprehensive review. I was waiting for the part where you test the long exposure settings… does it still have the same limitations as the Q2 when you try to to shoot at iso 3200 ? Can you do more than 4 seconds ?

The newest video on my channel on the Q3 answers your question, have a look :) No more constaints.

@@mathphotographer it truly did thank you! Now I can say I HAVE to upgrade to the Q3 regardless of how much I love my Q2 Reporter.

I'm glad I waited for the Q3. My only reservation is the monochrome noise. Did Leica resolve the high ISO noise issues that the Q2 suffered compared to the Q2 Monochrome?
