Pros: Superlative quality of the files, both for the dynamic range and for the incredible performance at high ISO. Impeccable build quality. Excellent ergonomics of the software and in general of the controls. Small size and weight. Good battery life.

Cons: Slow autofocus with limited tracking capabilities compared to the SL3 system. Only one memory card slot. Obviously the price.

Opinion: The Q3 monochrom is a gem. I published shots taken at 200,000 iso in one of my concert reports. Up to 25,000 iso there is no need for noise reduction: jpegs are almost perfect and the little grain that there is in the dng is so fine and pleasant that you can leave it where it is. The use with color filters opens up unexpected opportunities. The optical and mechanical quality are at the top as well as the user interface. The autofocus is a bit slow and some tracking features present on the SL3 and SL3 S systems are missing, but this concept of camera, due to the prevalent uses it has, encourages more to use manual focus. A great object that changes the way of thinking about photography for those who come from traditional reflex or mirrorless systems.

Pros: Vast but intuitive menu superior to Sony, construction materials, very fluid and sensitive MF ring, amazing files, battery life, +2 bars of residual charge after the session of 250 shots, the advantage of the compact camera solution that avoids the use of multiple lenses and dirtying the sensor.

Cons: Many essential accessories optionals, square lens hood, MF ring, inconvenient the micro release button.

Opinion: Purchased used (practically new) for which I discarded the GFX 100S kit and 45-100 f/4 lens with considerable financial loss, compared to the purchase and here allow me the saying (Buy gold and resell Paglia!). So at the moment I'm untangling myself in the menu, I'm only posting a photo, because I think that to get photos with a capital "F" you have to study and shoot- shoot and study. Update 1) About 250 shots taken I found some defects can you say? (Strictly personal opinion) is the standard square lens hood that with the zoom setting in F1 with the options 35-50-70- At 90 mm., the corners of the lens hood appear in the frame, which can be avoided by giving up the maximum focal length or replacing the supplied lens hood with the round one (Optional), another small detail but... very personal is my giant hand that holding the camera, almost disappears, in the very small 28 mm lens., it does not combine with the MF ring, very close to the aperture ring involves some accidental variation that is then visible in the viewfinder, I also happened to move the Macro ring so much as to go into the balloon!. All this, which can be remedied by setting the very useful Focus Peaking which is also switched to red by default. The files produced are fantastic, never seen anything like it, they do not need substantial P.P. adjustments, at least for me who, I am allergic!.
