Leica Q3

Pros: Viewfinder, LCD, AF, Sensor, Design

Cons: AF can be improved, viewfinder that shoots a lot in low light

Opinion: As the owner of many Leica M and the first Q, this is certainly a big step forward for the whole ecosystem. Nothing new on the lens front that is always excellent from every point of view, despite the fact that it is still the usual 24mm digitally corrected to about 28mm, much faster AF than the previous one (inherited from Panasonic S5II) but still far behind Sony, so to speak. On the other hand, this kind of camera should be enjoyed for its relatively slow nature that helps to weigh each shot. EVF and LCD viewfinder improved a lot but as soon as the light is low everything becomes jerky (the 120fps, when set manually, is obtained only in broad daylight otherwise in low light conditions it can even reach 10fps at a glance). With new firmware (2.01) AF and power-on time has been improved. In general I am very satisfied, being used to the pros and cons of this object which, if used in the right way, turns the cons into further advantages. The sensor, apparently derived from Sony, is excellent in every respect and the stabilizer has been improved compared to Q and Q2, but not yet reaching the levels of Sony and company. The battery drops quickly in "normal" use but guarantees those claimed 350/400 shots (always take two). The USBC charge is excellent, for me the wireless one is not useful as well as the inexpensively expensive accessories to be able to take advantage of it. With the original charger, the charge takes place in an exaggeratedly slow way: I hope everything will benefit the life of the batteries themselves, given the cost of 180e each. If a certain type of photography is what you love (reportage, ambient portrait, street photography) this is a possible definitive camera and the typical Leica user experience is always there.
