Review Summary

Insane image quality. Exceptional software/menu system. World class build quality. Ergonomically not that good. Inexcusable Leica lens hood will not fit easily with Leica branded filter (to protect the amazing lens), add insult to injury jury should you get the lens hood on, the lens will not go into macro mode with a filter. Leica how did you miss this? For one handed shooting an added thumb grip works great, but blocks the thumb wheel for ease of use. Another ergonomic compromise. Leica should have paid attention to the detail with this amazing camera. It's a keeper despite the flaws.

I have owned my Q3 for almost 4 weeks. Took it to scenic hiking route, city walk, SF Fleet week, and taking pictures and occasional some videos. My impression is, for low/no movement objects like landscaping, portraits, I love this camera, the color is beautiful, the different Leica filters a interesting, and the quality of the image is amazing. But for the fast moving object, like birds, "Blue Angels", most of time, you need some preparation before the shorting and wait for the moment to happen, because of the Auto focus. Other brand like Sony, Nikon, or Canon might be better fit for this purpose. Then, the build quality. OMG, it is a piece of art. It is very well built, solid, steady, not cheap! Also, people buy Leica is not just for the camera function and capability (If that's what you are looking for and don't care about the appearance, you might have better options with the same money). Q3 just makes you have this eager to bring it out with you and take more photos.

After an initial hiccup of my Q3 arriving with a defective SD card slot (very dissapointing), I was FINALLY able to use it months later.....but the wait was well worth it! The images are absolutely fantastic. The videos it records are the best Ive ever seen from a camera as well, Just beautiful. It literally feels like this camera is the only camera you will ever need for every day life. Its built like a German tank and its just wonderful to hold and to use. These images will continue to look amazing decades from now as the 60Mp sensor grabs so much information, its hard to believe you'll ever need anything more. Amazing in lowlight as well. A perfect memory making machine.

First, the Q3 specks for it self ! In my opinion this is the finest photographic equipment on today's market.Yes, the waiting was worth the production period for the camera to be manufactured. Second, ordering though ADORAMA could not have been any better. 100% excellent customer care-service, from them with notifications on the progress on receiving the new Q3. If you are as serious about your photography and have the funds,look no further my friends. For me this is heaven on earth.
