Unboxing a $6000 Point & Shoot Camera: The Leica Q3

If you still have this Leica Q3 camera, can you please create video with Lens sharpness Chart? I think people want to see how its compared FujiFilm X-T5 or X100v

Fantastic camera

Back tilt screen looks tacked on. X100V and X-E4 looks better integrated into the body.

What is the striped watch band??? 🔥

Man do you know you are wearing two watches? Just FYI.

What’s the deal with two watches?

Can you please share the link to that beautiful shutter release 🙏

Many thanks very good unboxing, in my case i sold Q3 one week after i got it for a small premium...very slow startup and battery consumption was crazy..i replace it with q2ghost for 2K less 😅

why are you wearing two watches?

The "deal" logic is so dumb... You're buying. device filled with electronics that will eventually fail. Once they do, the great lens goes in the trash. A lens (any of those you mentioned) can be used for decades on multiple cameras over time. The camera is great, if you have the money you'll love it, but don't try to convince people that they're getting a deal. They're getting a very expensive camera that has a lens that will become unusable the minute those electronics die.

Great video. I am in love with my Q2, I would love sometime maybe next year to upgrade it to a Q3, it really would be my dream camera which I would probably use for years and years, with no need for anything else

I think especially after using the 28mm phone cameras, we got more familiar with this focal length. Smartphone cameras and software departments are improving every year, and i’m carrying my Fujifilm x70 much less, although it’s a compact camera.
I really like the Leica Q concept from the first 24mp version it’s released, and think that it justifies its high price tag. Maybe one day i will be brave enough to buy that magnificent piece of art 📷.
I will be waiting for your detailed review 🙋‍♂️

Q3 a point and shoot camera really ? You must be joking

Video on a stills camera will always be nonsense

Don't need 60 megapixels. I will stay with my M8 with the 21mm 1:4 Super-Angulon instead. Nothing more needed here for the next decades in terms of 28mm focal length.

Made in Portugal

Would you go for the cheaper Q1 or Q3 given glass being the same?

the flip screen really looks like a thirdt party screen glued to the back of a Q2 ... they ruined @vincent_Iaine amazing design ... too bad

Nice unboxing. I’m still waiting for my Q3. I think I’ll get that Cooph orange and blue strap, it looks so cool.

So just 2 months ago I buy the Q2 Ghost and a 24-90mm for my SL2-S. and now arrives a Q3 with 60MP, tilt screen, PDAF , 28-90 digital crop, etc etc. Asaaaugh. I appreciate your channel.

I’ve heard everyone who has reviewed this say that you get a 28 Summilus with body for less than the M-mount 28 Summilux, but they’re not the same lens. First of all, the 28 on the Q opens to f1.7 and it’s not the same optical design. I don’t see the comparison.

I’m not aiming this at you. I’ve heard it many times before. I just find it a bit odd when the lenses are totally different lenses.

I may eventually come to my senses while I wait in queue.

i've tried the Q3 at a store, beautiful camera, had not much time to test it out, but whats the think with the DR or generally the highlights and shadows, the camera tends really to overexpose the highlights while the shadows are slightly underexposed. Just asking because i had not seen this on any other camera i shoot with. Seems really contrasty and punchy on leica, sure u can recover it in post.. Anyway is there somethink i didnt know? 😅

Do you think that the quality of the Q3’s lens is comparable to the standalone Summilux

Damn I’m so jealous….I’d love one of those

Do you own the m10R? If so, when do you use the pro 3?

This is too expensive. It needs to be no more than £1000 for me to even think about affording. 😁

Very good presentation ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏

If you check, on leica battery is written Fuji :)) fuji electric i believe

Thanks for the unboxing. I would love to use this. But the formfactor probably would lead to me leaving it at home

Nice unboxin! Btw whay are you wearibg 2 timepieces?

👍👋👋

Ordered several weeks ago on launch day from B&H, they don't know my position in the queue or
even the next delivery date from Leica. I called Leica and they have no info on date of next ship
to dealers either. Adorama says 12.23 is next time new stock will be available, Bummer.
Leica did this with the Q2 also. I have 4 other Leicas, I am a fan, but guys learn to manage your
inventory better and don't keep us fans waiting half a year for a new camera

As a bird shooter, $6000 will buy me a nice supertelephoto lens. But man, leicas look nice.

Taco loves 28mm and we love Taco! How lucky you are, Incredible camera.
