Love this real life review Dave! I passed on buying the Q3 last week because while I loved my Q2, I’m not sure I’d grab it over my M11. Camera West in Walnut Creek will let you go out for an hour with gear. Shawn is so cool , he’s the owner and he takes care of us!
For me, the main difference is that the Q3 has a slightly longer beard and does a pretty good job converting in camera from Italian to American. Other than that they are virtually identical. Oh wait we are supposed to compare the cameras, my bad! That could be an SD card issue…good video!
Definitely fun watching you walk around Rome for an hour (love Rome). Sadly, I am sure this creator would agree that an hour with the camera is inadequate to make any conclusions about anything. Regarding the Q3 freezing, I wonder if it was related to the SD card. Leica has had a history of being temperamental with SD cards. It makes me wonder what OS they are using in the camera, as that should not be a problem. All the best.
Thanks! Yeah, of course this isn't a thorough examination, and this was the week it came out. Leica Rome lended it out for the day. It was more or less a first impressions against the Q2. Thanks for the comment!
I’m a former M9 owner but have been a Fujifilm guy for many years now but I’m now looking at trading in all of my gear to buy the Q3. As much as I love the M series cameras I feel the Q’s suit me better even though I prefer manual focusing. Currently, my camera supplier does not have the Q3 in stock but they have a waiting list… much as they did when I bought my GRIIIX.
Hey Dave, great to see your channel growing and you are able to travel and create content :). Wasn't able to stop by since our second daughter was born 2 months ago :) Great video as always and this comparison confirms my opinion. You have to really like and gravitate towards the new features to upgrade to the Q3. According to rumours Leica will keep the Q2 in the line up or rebrand it as an "entry level" Q camera. I interpret that as a sign that even Leica knows about the quality of the Q2 and not everyone "needs" (we can't talk about needs when we are talking about Leica :D) the Q3 features and are happy with the Q2. That being said the new AF system, M11 60MP sensor (pixel binning and cropping), USB-C and upgraded video features in a Q2 weather sealed body were reasons for me personally to sell my Q2M (M11 sensor seems to be amazing for low light and black and white conversions; not monochrome level, but still) and my Sony A7IV. When I had the Q2M and A7IV I was mostly shooting with the Q2M, but missed several shots of my running daughter due to slow AF. These kinds of shots were perfect for the A7IV, but the setup is much more bulkier to handle while pushing a stroller for example. I don't have any illusion regarding the image quality, as this comparison illustrated. And regarding video the A7IV wipes the floor with the Q3, but I think the Q3 video features will be enough for my family stuff. I'm just curious, if the rolling shutter (also very noticable here in this video but result of the 60mp sensor) also occurs in 4k and 1080. Long story short, I made my pre order and waiting since launch for my Q3. But if everything goes well, I'm able to pick mine up tomorrow, since I got a call today from my local camera store in Germany, which only were able to get 1 Q3 - which hopefully be mine soon :)
Thanks for sharing! Congrats on the birth of your second daughter! Being a dad is the greatest thing. I hear you on the AF. It is really nice to be able to rely on it. Then Q2 doesn’t always hit for sure, and I do think the Q3 is much better in that regard. Let me know your experiences when you start shooting! Excited for you!
As a Q2 Monochrom owner, I cancelled my order for the Q3 'Colour' camera...No memory back up ...no buy. Also, they finally put a tilt screen...but no portrait tilt ?????? Plenty of Colour cameras on the market with memory back up and a REAL tilt screen. Thank you for this honest video.
What type of SD card was used in the Q3? I've had mine for about 3 weeks with zero lockups but I'm using a Sandisk V90 card. I've read that using off brands or slower cards might be contributing to the lockups per those who have reached out to Leica with the issue. I suspect firmware is also at fault.
@@davidherring I think firmware plays a part as well, but Leica support is telling people who've experienced this issue that it's related to the SD card. Every report I've seen of it was with a V60 or slower card.
Hey Dave - fellow Bay Area shooter. I did pre-order the Q3. I’m upgrading from the original Q which has been my every day shooter for 6 years. I’m hoping the Q3 can replace my barely used Canon R-5C - that thing is a beast but just too heavy for a one person video crew. Italy looks amazing - we should shoot when you get back to the bay
the real user comparison on that 1 hour borrowing leica Q3, it is not the pre-released version it make sense to stick with what you have, leica since the new release of cameras, from leica M11 series up to now, even there`s update available to leica M11 users, but still there`s a issues on their firmware, the best leica now to have is the last generation leica Q, leica Q2 series, leica M series before M11, leica SL series. by the way I owned Leica Q2 monochrome until now it is best leica to have no pronblem. and it is updated to firmware version 5.
I rarely buy anything new generation. I almost always get my gear at least a year and multiple firmware versions later. Currently with the Q2 (2022 purchase) and M10R (a few months ago upgrade from the M10).
Finally a 1vs1 video. That's exactly what I thougt about the Q3. There is for sure a step up but not a big one. I don't think an upgrade is worth it for me at least.
Thanks for the vid. Q3 AF frankly one of the few features that draws me to it over the q2. But I hardly grab the q2 any more, gravitate much more to my M or SL2-s.
HI Dave, I’d be interested to know if the recent experience, albeit very short, has put you off getting a Q3? I couldn’t see any difference in the image quality between them. Another great vid, keep ‘‘em coming!
I was never planning on upgrading. The image quality is absolutely no different in my opinion. And I don’t need 61mp from a point and shoot, or any of the other features that make the Q3 worth it for me. Others may, and no problem with that. But for me, the Q2 is honestly a little overkill for me. I mostly just shoot M, and have been considering selling my Q2 and getting a 28mm M lens.
I think it is hard to tell image quality difference on a UA-cam video. The Q2 is great. The Q3 has other advantages besides it’s sensor, eg the screen and phase focusing. Many people also report major gains in high ISO. Second hand Q2s are a reasonable option.
The new 60MP sensor allows greater crop ability and is better by one stop in low light. There are some reported "Lock Ups" with the Q3 The Q3 has many new upgrades. It has significantly improved AF and the same EVF as the SL2
Interesting. I've never had issues with the WB on Q2. In fact I always thought auto WB on Q2 was way better compared to Fujis and Nikon Zs I owned/own. What kind of issues do you have, just curios. Thanks!
You usually have some nice video's. This one is ridiculous Name one camera where you can tell the difference between the previous camera and the new model regarding image quality on a you tube video? there's more "crop ability" with 60MP sensor that's the first thing to mention and its better by at least one stop in low light. It's reasonable to point out the camera locked up twice but after you made that point it's like you gave up. The Q3 has the SL2's EVF which is incredible a lot of people welcome the flip screen The AF is significantly improved. Leica also removed the exposure constraints for long exposure shooting. It's minor but the lens cap design has been fixed it will no longer potentially fall off when the felt wears out The wireless charging hand grip is really nice. There will be firmware updates correcting bugs as well.
@@davidherring There have been noted "Lock ups" with the Q3 Leica does have issues as you know with the M10-R and other models. especially with new models. How about a "fun" video with the Q3 showing all the things I mentioned? that would be fun too !!!
@@walkingmeditation61 didn’t mean to come across as dismissive, just authentically reacting. The Q3 has amazing upgrades, especially if it’s your first Q. Fantastic camera for sure. Leica doesn’t make anything that isn’t a home run.
@@davidherring oh, do you remember if OIS was set to Auto or On when recording? I also feel like theres no stabilization in video (at least it doesnt seem like it), and am wondering if the algorithm for auto (if it was still set on that) doesnt kick in stabilization as much, and requires it to be set to On for it to work for sure.
Another great vid! Rome looks beautiful!! Can I ask what camera bag Paolo is using in the clip of him in the Leica store? It looks like a perfect Q sized insert/ bag.
It's a messenger bag from Mission Workshop. I have the same bag and used it in college. It's very well made and I would recommend it. I just don't think an insert would make it a good camera bag. Plus, MW already has camera specific bags. Inside Line Equipment is another alternative to MW. If you need to keep it Gucci; Killspencer has inserts and straps for Leica's etc. All three are California brands.
@@mechashiva8328 Thank you! I’ve realised I wasn’t very clear in my request… it was the insert/ pouch he uses in the vid that I was asking about. I’ve not heard of killspencer, so will definitely look them up! Cheers bud!

I had the same issues with my Q3 (+my battery only lived for 1h) so i sold it 10 days later to buy a Q2 ghost edition..best move sor far as those are now circa 4700 vs 6300 for q3..

Yes quite different colors from Q3 vs Q2 and not just the colors are different, but it was expected. Not compared here but I do prefer what I got from the Q than my Q3. Maybe a question of aesthetic? Felt the way with the M11 which I sold after a few month to go with the M10-R (better than M11 but not as pleased as I was with the M10). The M10-R is growing on me but I’m struggling with the Q3 in getting the final image I want. I shot 3 weddings with the Q3 and no freezing but I push the camera by taking many pictures continuously and it froze, so it is an issue still not fixed.
Thanks for sharing. I feel the same way. I really love the M10R but I did prefer the colors of the M10 more. I’m not planning to pick up an M11, and who knows even in the future. Sticking with the Q2 in the meantime as well.
Oh no - not still the freezing issue. The old Q has the same problem. Have missed so many shots because of this. And a lot of flat batteries as well. If you don't see it before putting the camera in your bag, the battery will be flat in a very short time. Come on Leica....
@@davidherring In a controlled test where you shoot exactly same object then yes it will be more obvious but if you go about and each camera takes different photos at different apertures and settings then it will be super hard to tell if not impossible the difference.
My opinion unless your shooting street, 1.7 (wide open), Medium to High speeds shooting - from the hip not a huge game changer with the Q2. now if you're a wide open shooter, lets not kid ourselves, the Q3 is the better option, the phase detection is 10000% better than the q2 If you're an 5.6 or f8 zone shooter, single shot speed shooter, you should 100% stick with the Q2.
