[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I tried the original Q in Frisco a few years ago and really liked it.? My only complaint, aside from price, was the 24 mp that you had to rely on to crop to get a 35 and 50.? I looked at Sony's "equivalent" but dislike Sony and also 35 is not wide enough if I am only carrying one camera. ? The last few months I suspected something was up as the price was dropping and I once again was interested.? Now with 47 mp, they have removed my one real complaint, aside from price again.? I might have to wait for the Q3 so the Q2 price would come down.? When I got to play with the Q it just felt good.? I thought the EVF was one of the best at the time and it was just plain fun to shoot with.? I can see why it has been one of Leica' s best sellers.? I just might have to take advantage of Trump's new tax law and spend my rebate on it.? Oh, wait.? My actual tax rate actually went UP, buy about double!! But I am still getting something back.
