I was able to get downtown West-Berlin today (To me Berlin is still a story of two cities) and try the new Leica Q.
I had thought from the first report abut the Q that it is a winner. After holding it in my hands, taking several photos with it, I continue to feel the same way about it.
I like that it is a dedicated lens, but that it has three options just as the Tri-elmar does. 
On the negative side, I thought the lens seemed flimsier than I expected while being lighter than I would have imagined. 
Autofocus seemed slower than I would like.
Too bad it does 't do double exposures like the fuji does. Menus remain intuitive and easy to use. Canon could learn from this, but that would mean breaking decades long bad habits for them and other camera makers like them. 
I'd buy this camera, but not before it's been out a while and the buys get worked out.
Cheers--Doug
