Out if my price range, but first glance shows some tech that I wouldn\'t mind Sony using. Dual card slots, more resolution in the EVF, touch screen. Also didn\'t see it mentioned but it\'s has wifi and GPS as well. Which begs the questions.
- Since it\'s also a full frame sensor and records 4K, will it overheat? I didn\'t pay attention to see if it has a flip screen, which helps with overheating with the Sony,
- with GPS, etc, how is battery life compared to Sony? The most common complaint against the Sony is the battery life, which you can get a couple of spares for $20. A spare Leica batteries gotta be what... $100?
Battery is $250
They\'re saying 400 shots. But I\'m hearing 800.. These people seem like they would chimp. Simply because it\'s a review and a new camera to them.
That\'s sourced from Ming originally from what I\'ve read, his shooting style tends to much better life than CIPA standard. Little chimping, no flash. $250 is ridiculous though, 1st part batteries are already wildly marked up at 1/3 that cost.
I was hearing the same battery stats for the Q, but I don\'t chimp EVER. So I get 4 times that easily. Leica just has very good power management (thanks Panasonic).
I\'d still get a spare battery though!
No flip screen (i hate that feature and I don\'t even know why I hate it).
GPS would be the first thing I turn off. I don\'t think the Q has it. I also keep the wifi off on the Q.
No flip screen is a deal-ender for me. Absolute design fail in a mirrorless body, and moderate fail in a DSLR. Articulated screens are simply such a massive improvement for tripod and non-eyelevel handheld work that I wouldn\'t buy a body without one today. For those who don\'t like them, high-end ones are thin and tuck away readily (like on my E-M1)
Keep in mind I would hate to have to manage 5-10 batteries. Which I had to do with the A7, A7s, A7r, A7II, A7rII. I had 10 batteries between two bodies that I used simultaneously and it was a pain.
I\'d much rather 3 batteries between 2 cameras that cost more money, but last longer. But that\'s just me.
Sony does not cover themselves in glory with the battery for the A7. They should have used the A99 battery rather than the low-capacity battery from the smaller NEX series. The issue here isn\'t so much power management as it is a tiny battery with inadequate capacity for the camera\'s needs.
