Form a Q for Leica Another well-crafted camera with a premium price tag has been revealed in the Leica Q3. The third generation of the Q series, originally launched in 2015, retails for £5300 and offers a full-frame sensor, fixed focal length and
is now five times faster. Videographers can record up to 8K on the Q3, and there’s more support for professional codecs, including H.265 and Apple ProRes. A new HDMI and USB-C port also feature. The latter can be used for shooting tethered or charging the camera’s battery. Additional features are designed to deliver perfect-looking JPEGs straight out of the camera, such as Leica Perspective Control (LPC), which will correct any instances of converging verticals, while Leica Dynamic Range (LDR) retains detail in shadows without blowing out highlights. In terms of handling, the camera weighs a reassuringly chunky 743g with battery inserted, and is capable of 350 shots from a full charge. Announced with the Q3 is an update to the Leica Fotos app, now in version 4. It’s claimed to be ten times faster than the previous iteration, while offering new ‘Leica Looks’ that can be transferred to your Leica camera. The latest app also adds video functionality. As well as the above, Leica has introduced a range of accessories for the Q3, including a very plush-looking, cognac-coloured leather half case that still allows for access to the camera’s battery and memory card when attached. leica-camera.com

Suitable for use by anyone from point-and- shoot photographers to professionals, an articulated rear touchscreen features, along with an updated viewfinder, new ports, a new processor and a light sensitivity range up to ISO 100,000. At its heart is a 60-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor first introduced on the Leica M11 last year, which on the new Q3 is coupled with a 28mm f/1.7 ASPH lens. Such massive resolution means that even in the camera’s 90mm crop mode, photographers will still generate a six-megapixel image. It’s also well worth mentioning that there’s an optical image stabiliser in the lens. Undoubtedly the biggest talking point here is the new tilting screen, a 1.84m-dot touch display. Of course, we also get an upgraded eye-level OLED EVF offering 5.76m dots of resolution, as well as the inevitable tweak to autofocus, with phase detection and contrast autofocus working in unison to deliver a more versatile focusing system – that Leica claims
