Leica Q3 | Street Fashion Photography with Mark de Paola

Introducing the Leica Q3 featuring Photographers Mark de Paola and Seth Miranda as they discuss its updates and features. This all-new and impressive camera has a 60mp full-frame sensor with triple resolution technology in a compact body, which makes it a great travel and street everyday-use camera. If you think a 60mp file might be too large, you have the option to lower the megapixel file to 36 or 18 allowing faster camera operation and still getting incredible resolution shots due to its sensor. In addition, there is the option to use digital crop and macro mode, giving you a ton of versatility when it comes to shooting options.

[LastXwitness]

The Q3 is a real nice redesign of an already staple camera. Very awesome and always great to see Mark

[mimvlog]

Such a fun shoot with the whole team - what a beautiful camera!

[t.bowden]

Hi Mark and Sage.... love you guys AND the Q

[gchristopherklug]

Always great to see Mark. Just took a workshop with him. Brilliant!

[mtcrun]

Very enjoyable video to watch - especially to see portraiture being done this way (wide angle, no flash).

[zenjitsuman]

When is your store going to get them in stock to ship to those who have pre ordered.
What is the availability date?

[johnclay]

street fashion photography interesting combination.

[mozmozbooks]

I have the original and saving for the upgrade 👍🏽 excellent video 🔥

[Gandalfsson]

Need to see more pictures in color from this camera

[MrBanda]

On YouTube it looks like iPhone quality but price is 6000 EUR. Show this photo to any client and she will be your last client 08:36

[JoeGiz]

Nice review guys. Mark, I’m looking at the Q3 for street and a few spontaneous outdoor portrait shots. Instead of lugging my D5 kit around would this fit the bill for an all around carry every day?

[JodyCortes]

hey Seth its your favorite Photolorian .. .Will the new camera Tether ? Also how many shots will the new battery get ? Great video

[rasheed]

Sigma FP L + Leica/Zeiss L Lens can capture 12 bit 4k raw video + 60MP stills. Don't sleep!

[LyndonPatrickSmith]

Does the Q3 have a leaf shutter and the accompanying high sync speeds? Thanks

[vegasdood]

Not a Leica shooter [yet} but, wondered if the Q2/Q3 will connect to Lightroom for a wireless or wired tether?

[АлександрЛеоненко-ьз]

Many of the photographs do not have an even horizon, in some photographs the model has a "cut off" part of the foot. Artistic approach? Maybe.

[johndeakin]

A quick question regarding the Leica Q3 handgrip if I may. Is it swiss arca compatible ? Thanks.

[bernie]

how is the tilt screen supported ? on plastic or metal elements ?

[DonaldHawk]

What kind of memory card would you need with this?

[simon]

For a $7000 camera I shouldn’t have to manual focus!
