p.1 #5 · p.1 #5 · Buy Leica Q now, or wait for Nikon's mirrorless FF? | |
Thanks guys...
1) I can certainly wait, and keep shooting with my D4/D800E/D7K and my lenses as I have for the past few years. It is just that in some occasions I may not take my DSLRs and may thus lose some photo opportunities, be it travel shots, street shots, or just candids of our sons. For any planned photoshoot whether business or personal, I will obviously still use my DSLR setup.
2) At this point, I think Nikon mirrorless FF is a certainty and not just a rumor anymore. It is just a question of when, and also whether or not it will have F-mount, and of course, the price.
3) I do actually have high hopes for Nikon mirrorless FF. I think Nikon has waited long enough and, at the R&D and marketing expense of Sony and Fuji, as well as their own, they should know what works and what doesn't, and what the customers really want in a mirrorless FF.
4) Leica Q is pretty appealing indeed. I may be wrong but I have a feeling that if Nikon gets it right with their mirrorless FF body, it could put significant pressure on Leica prices, at least in the used market. In general, unlike glass, one loses a lot of money on camera bodies even when buying used. Leica bodies actually seem to hold their value better. But because Leica is pretty expensive to begin with, I'm afraid a hit mirrorless FF body from Nikon could cause my Leica Q to significantly drop in value. And if the Nikon body turns out to be F-mount compatible, flexibility in using my assortment of small prime lenses could be a big plus when compared with the fixed 28mm on the Leica Q.
