Pros
  • High-quality 28 mm f1.7 lens
  • Powerful 60 fullframe sensor
  • Excellent image and video quality
  • Distinctive and robust metallic build quality
Cons
  • Fiddly screen and viewfinder
  • Slow boot-up time
  • Autofocus not up to par with other manufacturers

The autofocus, while good, is not quite up to the same standards of accuracy and precise confidence as Canon and Sony's.

The Leica Q3 is a high-quality camera with a distinctive, robust metallic build quality and a comfortable handgrip. It features a 28 mm f1.7 lens and a powerful 60 fullframe sensor, providing excellent image quality with beautiful color and contrast. The camera has a high-resolution screen and viewfinder, but it can be a bit fiddly to handle, especially when mounted on a tripod. The autofocus is good, but it can be tricked by bright light, and the camera takes some time to boot up. The Q3 excels in image quality, capturing high detail with bold colors and offering good dynamic range. Its video quality is impressive, capable of shooting 8K footage with fine resolution and detail. However, the white balance can be a bit cool, and the autofocus, while good, is not up to the same standards as other manufacturers.

I loved its picture quality and most of all the style and color of its images. The jpeg engine produces bold colors and high detail at high ISO levels. The camera's 28 mm lens is very inspiring, and I can't wait to finish my review of it.
