No issues with dust on sensor. That was a few early units of the original Q. AF is not better on the old Q. No difference in AF. AF speed is fine in single shot but crap in continuous. Q3 with PDAF should make continuous AF usable.

Q-P is a great camera, but it's tough to find one that's not been beat up.

Here you go hkrazerx. This Q-P looks like a very good deal from what I've seen from past offers:

First glance - finally semi transparent info bar! The solid black info bar screw up LCD composing all the time 😂

So the US Leica dealer invites (Seattle, LA, Miami) are on May 25th. Does it follow that the Q3 pre-order embargo will lift in the US that day also?

Supposed to have a new finish – the black paint used on the new M6/M11. Those photos look like the old nasty anodized finish that fingerprinted too easily and chipped as easy as hard candy.

I just got back from a great trip to the island of Mallorca, Spain. I've been pleasantly surprised with the Q2's results because of the uncomplimentary things I read about the 47MP sensor that it shares with the SL2 and Lumix S1R.

I was running the Q2 in tandem with either my M10-R or Sony A1 in the same scenes and the Q2's dynamic range and noise was not much worse. The Raws were just as easy to work with and they stood up well. BTW, Cobalt's "M10-R Embedded" profile is outstanding.

So now the Q3 comes on May 26th and

How did you find the autofocus on the Q2? Did you use eye af? Was it reasonably accurate for taking pictures of adults?

Reading through the leaked spec sheet, it’s described as “ Hybrid-AF due to combination of contrast metering, depth mapping, and phase comparison metering with AF metering points in the sensor.” Someone commented this is similar to what’s on the Panasonic s5 ii - reading the reviews on it, doesn’t seem like it’s a major game changer - maybe better than before but not comparable to Sony or Canon for example.

1860mAh to 2200mAh is a nice 18% jump in battery capacity. That should increase the shots per charge rating from 350 to ~413. Looking forward to grabbing a few of those for my SL2-S!

I'm glad they didn't do internal memory, which would have been a big change to the electronics and firmware. In light of the M11 issues I've had, I'm glad it will stay like it was.

tzhang, I use my Q2 on S-AF. The new 5.0 firmware eye AF setting worked very well in Mallorca. Here's a couple shots using it. They were both quick action with no posing time. The first photo was indoors and the second with strong backlight from a moving tram.

I've been processing 1000's of Raws from my Q2, A1, M10-R and A7R5 since I've got home. I'm still not done but honestly the Q2 has been a champ.

I think the biggest improvement is going to be seen in continuous AF mode / tracking. For a while, the Q3 is going to be better than the SL cameras at AF. Crazy thought.

Did animal AF exist in the SL2? I don't recall it, but I sold it last year. Maybe there was a firmware update.

No, that is completely new. Face/eye detect that works well in continuous AF would also be new

Yes, I forgot that phase detect is new for Leica.
Panasonic/Leica spent considerable time on "Depth from Defocus" (DFD), which I found to be acceptable, but I'm pleased that they have now transitioned to phase detect for continuous mode tracking.

I'm just curious with the video specs, specifically if it has uncropped 4k 60p so that I can match quick vid shots with my sonys. Not a typical wish from Leica since thats not their focus, but it would make things more convenient. If they have that, I'd be interested. In the meantime, anyone know if the dust sensor issue from the Q1 was fixed in the Q2? Or is it recommended to tape/cover the mic holes on the top

Ouh là là, these Q3 specs are looking very impressive! I’m thinking this camera will probably bring in record numbers of new-to-Leica customers. Can’t wait to see how the new PDAF/DFD system performs with the new Maestro IV processor too.

All eyes on this new Q3..coming announcement next week then?
