[Leica] Q vs M unloved ancient only 24mp M240 (et al MP 262 etc)

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

A Leica Q3 in India from a dealer costs 4.25 times a Fuji X100V, 3.25 times
a Nikon Z7 II, 2.5 times a Nikon Z8 and 1.75 times a Nikon Z9.

Hardly a compelling buy, even for the most diehard cultist!

Cheers
Jayanand
