Great video and useful / practical observations and comments. I have the Q2 along with the Sony RX1R and RX1R mkii. I relate to your comment about megapixel difference between the Q and Q2 as I feel the same about the 24MP Sony RX1R and 42MP Sony RX1R. In everyday use, you dont really see any difference and there are other potential challenges once you get to 40MP+ sensors with image size, image processing etc

Great video, thanks! I have just bought a Q and I love it. After using then buying an M8 with its 10.8 mp sensor 24 it is an upgrade! I switched for the same reason as you in that the viewfinder was frustrating for my older eyes. My Q is set up for monochrome as a rusted-on Kodak Tri-X black & white photographer and Silver Efex 2 on my Mac I’m a happy camper✌️🇦🇺

[@mr_dowsett]

Just don't sell the M8... I miss mine so much. Worst thing I ever did

[@BarryBernau]

Better yet… sell both and get the Q3

[@gibbsomany]

Thanks a lot ,I‘m going to buy a Q or Q2 , your Video will help.Greets:-)

[@mr_dowsett]

Glad it was helpful!

[@andrewkerns6777]

How about the Q3? Love mine!

[@mr_dowsett]

Simply cannot justify the price

[@backyardjunkie]

I got the Q, wanted a Leica and it's what I could afford £2000 uk.. Flamin well love my Q, have a few cameras, couple of Sony, couple of Fujifilm, maybe one day I'll trade for Leica interchangeably lens....... What's a Dartford lad doing in Canada? All the best.

[@mr_dowsett]

I make video games. I've sold all of my other cameras, mainly Canon digital. I'll likely get a Q2M at some point... could sell the two and get one BUT I just can't do it lol

[@powermfp1]

You mentioned the shutter count on your Q2, how did you get that number? I have a Q-P that I would like to know the count on.

[@mr_dowsett]

It's simply the file number on the image which has never been reset from new. You can also pull the shutter count from the dng files

[@craig_cunha]

Having two Q’s seems redundant. Sell the Q and pick up an M240. Pricing would likely be a wash. You could add a Voigtlander 50mm 1.5 for less than $500 USD used. Then you’d have a nice two camera 28/50 combo. Edit: or, if you only shoot 28mm B&W, sell both the Q and Q2 for a Q2 Monochrom (or Q3 version when it inevitably comes out).

[@mr_dowsett]

Good point! My general plan would be to sell the Q and pick up a Q2M; or more likely get the Q2M and sell the Q lol The Q is back up at this point; and what the dealer offered me (On the Q) was at best insulting considering it had a new EVF and had just been gone through by Leica Germany for a service but that is life

[@craig_cunha]

@@mr_dowsett Best to sell it privately on Kijiji or online at a forum like Fred Miranda. Q’s go for about $2000 to $2500 USD there, depending on condition. Much more than the $1500 CAD you were offered. Good luck!

[@BarryBernau]

Keep the Q and get a SL2

[@mr_dowsett]

​@BarryBernau that's an interesting thought!

[@marcuss.3824]

Oh wow, we will pay in Germany for a Q between 2000-2500$ and for a Q2 3200-4000$.... Greetings from Bavaria, Germany

[@mr_dowsett]

I think a Q is about the same here, the Q2 is around 5k
