🎬 My YouTube Gear!

2:05 « in the Leica, ecosystem, of course » . Brilliant. This is one of the raisons I love your work on YouTube.

I purchased this camera 4+ months ago and it's simply outstanding. Haven't looked back since. Definitely worth the investment (sell all your current gear!)

It is a fine camera. This week I returned from a trip to India and it fully met my expectations as a "travel" camera. I shot 100% JPG, and it was wonderful to "crop" in camera rather than make a mental note to crop an image when I got back to the hotel. I travel for business, not photography, so 80% of the images were taken from taxis, "autos", hotel cars, and even a bus. I have no "buyer's remorse" that I made the decision to make this my number one camera. It may not be for everyone, but it is perfect for what I need.

The only thing I would like to change on this camera, and it could be done with firmware, is the issue discussed at 12:25 - the focus point should be able to be locked in the center and not adjusted with the D-pad, or touchscreen. I lost a few wonderful images because of this.

I’m in love with my Q2 it’s absolutely stunning and great photos ❤️

[StayCovert]

I love Boston so much for photography!everyday i get time to myself i leave my car parked at home and just walk all over the city with my Fuji. Every neighborhood suites so many different tastes for architecture and street photography

[tonysibvisuals]

Got both the Q and X100V
Personally love em both but the Q has me the most interested as it’s a different feeling that it brings with those great images, sharpness and change of mm that aren’t always used bit of a challenge accepted type of mind set that makes it great.

[oliviatrelles]

I really appreciate your objective review. I own the q2 and q2m and had to do some serious budgeting to do it. The assumptions people make about people who own Leica’s has always been wild to me. We all spend our money differently and get use out of different tools. I felt you communicated clearly 28mm doesn’t work well for you and left the Leica snobbery/assumptions out of it. Good on you.

[winc]

For someone who does not like 28mm you sure made some fine images.

I own a Q2, very happy. But the IQ I preferred the one of Leica Q. Overall for colors. Very well done video!

[luischavezphoto]

As a self appointed Leica Q2 fanboy, I love your balanced impression of the camera. Heck, you could insult me on camera and I would still like the video.

Friday night show for me. 🫡
Awaiting the Q3...

[AlexOnStreets]

Great work! Patiently waiting for the Q3..

[tuckerhousephoto]

With respect, it is so rare to find these kinds of videos on YouTube anymore. The quality, and pure TALENT of your photos and video is insane my friend. Wow. Just an insane watch

[Shotbygreko]

have owned this camera for little over a year now. I was also annoyed at not having a way of charging the camera on the go. but then was in a beach shooting incident where my camera bag got wet with a rising tide. i had 4 cameras and the only one to survive was my leica q2. the weather sealing is top notch!

[TheAllianceEnt]

Bro, digital was an X100V and I bought that after watching most of your content. Then, I got my Q2...sheeesh. For anyone with the money but is on the fence? The IQ is remarkable. This lens is worth it, nooo cap.

[Randuski]

When i first picked up the ricoh gr, i wasn't sure how I'd feel about 28mm, but honestly, it's become my favorite focal length. You have to adjust the way you work and get closer to people but normally people assume that because you're so close, you must be photographing something behind them haha

[ivanaguero]

Really loved the old man portrait. Thanks for the vid!

[bmwohl]

I found your "first impressions" video a wonderful introduction to your own photographic work. I'm really, really impressed with your composition and choice of subjects. Thank you for taking the time to present such an excellent collection in such a short time.

[marcgilles]

8:37 The Fujifilm X100V also has digital zoom. It is a 50mm and 70mm equivalent. I use this feature all the time, but I feel a lot of reviewers never mention it.

[Reggiebphoto]

I'm a 28mm fanboy, so I'd love to try this camera out. Great video Faizal!
