Even Stephanie thinks it's expensive. What camera do you hesitate to buy for half a year? How expensive is it?
I went to check the camera in Stephanie's hand. It's Leica Q, and the official price is 33,700 yuan. The quotations from other places are similar, all over 30 thousand.
Leica Q was released by Leica on June 20 15. This machine basically has everything except 4K video and phase focusing.
Auto focus, touch screen focus, video, wifi, macro, mirror shutter and electronic shutter silent shooting, optical image stabilization, built-in viewfinder, large aperture, shutter speed and sensitivity to prevent large aperture from overexposure in the sun, wide angle, panoramic scanning, time-lapse photography, etc. , equipped with almost all the functions of modern cameras.
In addition, the focal length of Leica Q28mm can have a wider angle of view, which is very helpful for shooting some indoor and outdoor subjects. For people who have never used this focal length before, it may take some time to get used to it. First, wide angle contains a lot of information. After all, photography is subtraction. The second is to maintain the contrast of the main body of the picture. After all, you have to be close to the main body in this focal section.
There is also a picture switching key in the upper right corner of the LCD on the back of the fuselage, which can be switched freely between 28mm/35mm/50mm through digital cutting. The corresponding pixel number is 24 m/ 15 m/8 m, and the maximum aperture is f/ 1.7. There is nothing to say about the imaging quality, which is the top level.
Basic parameters:
Sensor size: Quan Huafu
Effective pixel: 24.2 million
Aperture range: F 1.7-F 16.
Continuous shooting function: up to about 10 shots/second.
Viewfinder type: electronic
Link function: Support Wi-Fi and NFC functions.
It's almost the end of the year. If you don't know what to give your girlfriend, then you can consider giving it to Leica Q. At present, this machine is available in regular version (black and silver), non-print version (that is, there is no Leica logo on the front), limited edition in khaki, limited edition in Panda, limited edition in Beijing and limited edition in Shanghai.
Leica has always been called a luxury in the "equipment industry". No wonder Stephanie also thinks it is expensive. But I believe it should be a piece of cake for Stephanie to buy a Leica. It's just that Stephanie's concept of saving money tells herself that it's too expensive. After all, a person's ability to make money is inconsistent with his consumption concept. Some people have money but dress simply, while others want to buy a luxury item without money.
The picture of the subject is misplaced. That's m.
As for Leica Q, I borrow an official comment: I can take it out.
▍ What is an injection?
If you like Leica's little red circle label, then Q can just satisfy you. Simple and tough lines, with matte black paint, show low-key luxury. Some users commented: when you take it out, you can often hear people in the same industry praise it for looking good. Even some girls try it several times and just want to touch it for a while.
For those who have never experienced Leica, Q is really sexy.

Although the shape design of Leica Q is not exactly the same as Leica classic M series, it inherits its essence. It's amazing. It's hard to describe it in words.

After processing, the material of the camera body becomes easy to hold, but in the actual use process, there is still a lack of a holding design, so there are accessories such as finger holding and handle. It is recommended to use finger sleeve or half sleeve with handle for better grip.
Lin de ban Tao
The camera is very beautiful, and with the blessing of the Leica round mark, it can be taken naturally.
On the other hand, in terms of performance, Leica Q is equipped with a 24-megapixel CMOS sensor from Quan Huafu and a fixed 28mm f/ 1.7 lens. Quan Huafu, as well as the large aperture lens, are attractive enough. As for focusing, Leica Q's philosophy is: you only need this lens, and you don't need to bother to bring all kinds of lenses, big and small.

Leica players are rarely late, because the films directed by Leica often have a special taste, which is called "DeVille" by players, and so is Q. Direct films make people have a long aftertaste.
For beginners, it doesn't matter if you don't know what settings to use for some special shooting scenes. Leica Q has preset many shooting modes, such as sports mode, portrait mode, scenery, night scene, fireworks and snow scene. There are also some special scene modes, such as micro-landscape, panorama and time delay, which are very practical.

What is "take it out"?
If the digital SLR camera is a tank, then Q is a small reconnaissance plane moving forward. There is no difference between the two, but both have their own usages-Leica Q is a portable computer that can be taken out.
Leica really took the concept of card machine to the extreme. Laikaq was born for street shooting. Magnesium-aluminum alloy body is light and durable, and can be easily put into carry-on bag. You can choose fast and lightweight autofocus, as well as simple and fast focusing methods such as touch screen focusing, which can capture the best moment in a very short time.
Single point focusing
Touch focusing
The almost silent shutter sound will also reduce the embarrassment of shooting. With the gentle "buzzing" sound, the subjects did not have a strong sense of vigilance.
Laikaq was born for street shooting.
In addition to the ultra-fast autofocus system, continuous shooting of Leica Q did a good job. JPG can shoot at a maximum speed of 10 frames per second, and if it is DNG+JPG, it can shoot at a speed of 5 frames per second. This continuous shooting speed is more than enough for daily shooting.
The effect of continuous shooting making gif pictures is also quite interesting.
These photos explain why 28mm is a good choice for Leica Q. It is wide enough to capture the fullness of the scene without distortion. It's a little bigger than 35mm, so it won't be cramped to shoot the scenery. In this way, Q can also be useful when traveling as a laptop.
Leica Q is also very good at shooting scenery.
Apart from "take it out in your hand", what are the reasons why beginners recommend Leica Q? That is playability. Different from ordinary DC, Q is also very malleable.
When you no longer want to simply take photos with autofocus, but want to enjoy the fun of photography, you can adjust the lens to the manual focus file, take photos from the viewfinder, take photos with manual focus, and even try blind shot skills with Jing Shenbiao on the lens; Besides, q is not expensive compared with m.

Nowadays, in this society, the hatred for the rich is very serious. Therefore, it is not surprising that many people think highly of Leica cameras. How to evaluate Leica Q objectively, fairly and accurately? We should grasp several basic points and make a scientific evaluation from both positive and negative aspects:
Leica Q, a Leica camera from Quan Huafu.
Leica Q, shutter speed, aperture, focus, depth of field ratio, these operations are very direct, primitive and pure.
Leica Q, a Leica camera that is actually worth having.
First, the basic positioning of Leica camera.
You ignore this basic positioning, and then talk about Leica's specific model, which is tantamount to seeking fish from the edge of the wood.
Leica camera is actually an intangible cultural heritage, which is positioned as a luxury ornament, not a practical tool, nor something that pursues cost performance.
If you want to say that Leica is not practical, you are right, but it is no use being right.
If you want to say that Leica is not cost-effective, you are right, but it is no use being right.
Second, why is it expensive and people still buy it?
In fact, I have many middle-aged and elderly students, especially the elderly students. You say they have money, and they do. In fact, however, they are not spenders. They have been accustomed to thrift all their lives. Although they are old, they are all business owners or individual bosses with net assets of millions or even billions. However, when they buy things, they don't spend money like we think.
It is very rational for them to spend money. For example, when they bought a good lens from Canon Nikon, such as a Leica camera, they felt that it had a certain collection value, and even felt that they were dead and could pass it on to their grandchildren.
This is about the value-added and value-added functions of Leica.
We say that the Canon Nikon Sony lens in APS format is not worth buying expensive, just because it is too worthless, and it can't be sold at a second-hand price. The loss is too great, and it is not necessarily easy to sell, which is very troublesome. Therefore, I have always advised you not to buy Sony APS half-frame micro-sheets and lenses, which must be reasonable.
Leica Q, a very pure Leica camera
However, you said you wanted to buy professional lenses from Canon, Nikon and Sony. I will never dissuade you as long as you can afford it.
For Leica, actually buying a Leica camera, just like buying a gold bracelet and necklace, can be realized at any time. This is not burning money, this is investment.
Well, you must change your mind and buy a Leica camera. It's really not burning money.
Jie Hailong, you don't have to take some sugar water tablets to win the prize. What is the value of these to Jie Hailong?
Jie Hailong at this time, of course, I just take Jie Hailong as an example, and so do other successful photographers.
We photographers, in order to win awards, earn a director, earn a chairman of xx Photographers Association, and earn a lot of money.
In fact, this is the performance of tools.
Using Leica camera can make you reflect on photography, get rid of tools and get rid of general fame and fortune.
This is something that Canon, Nikon and Sony can't give you.
Leica Q is a compact Leica camera, but when you buy this camera, you will find that you may not be able to do anything.
You buy Leica Q to shoot beautiful women?
You bought Leica Q to shoot the scenery?
You bought Lycraq to shoot flowers?
Oh, you'll find that none of them seem appropriate. !
Of course, the price of Leica is also quite touching (in fact, it is very strange that Leica Q is really one of the annual wealth management products this year, and the appreciation and price increase are really good. But if you are in doubt, you can actually observe it again before you start, and the price may be high recently)
Well, that's it. At this time, you will come out of the instrumentality and reflect on your own photography, forcing you to re-recognize your own photography.
To sum up: buying a Leica camera is not burning money, but actually an investment, not only an investment in general gold equivalents, but also an investment in improving personal thinking and getting rid of photographic tools and fame and fortune.
Use Leica Q users for many years to answer your questions.
Advantages: Coke's label is dazzling, just like the previous nobles, hanging on the chest can show their identity.
Disadvantages: low cost performance. As a tool, as the saying goes-silver wax spear head.
I really like Leica and want to learn from street photographers like Bresson, so buy the M series. Anyway, people who buy Leica are not short of money. The M 10+50 f2 ASPH lens, or more thoroughly, the direct M6 film machine, must be full.
To evaluate Leica Q, you must not say Leica first. Leica, a century-old German camera brand, is synonymous with camera luxury in most people's impression. However, from practical experience, Leica is really like a handicraft, small and exquisite, with a good image. Fully manual operation, people fully feel the fun of photography, taking pictures slowly and carefully. Leica seems to be a middle-aged successful person.
Leica Q and Leica M, Leica S and Leica CL and SL have different functional positioning, and their marketing targets are obviously much younger. First of all, it is equipped with a 28mm f/ 1.7 high-speed fixed-focus lens (whether it is the trend of mobile phone photography, I don't know, hehe ...). This lens has high imaging quality, has a close-up function of 28mm fixed focus, and has a wide range of shooting methods and objects, such as sweeping streets, landscapes, flowers, people and so on. Secondly, it adopts fully automatic mode, with simple operation interface and extremely convenient use. Abandoning the trouble of manual focusing of Leica M, it is more convenient and faster to use for young people who pursue painting quality and want to shoot at a fast pace. Third, it is small and easy to carry. Yes, although Leica Q is an authentic mirrorless camera, it is not smaller than it. Leica Q can almost be called a "pocket machine". At the very least, it's cheap. What, 30 thousand is still cheap? Yes, Leica Q is the cheapest Leica home camera. Not to mention the expensive Leica S, let's say Leica M, with a fuselage of more than 40,000 and a lens of almost no less than 20,000.
I can't help it. Who told you to pursue brand and quality? Leica itself is the ultimate product. Listen to the owner of Leica store: If Leica Q can change the lens, it is estimated that no one will buy Leica M any more. It can be seen that Leica Q is a good camera.
Leica Q is not a very beautiful camera. It doesn't seem to be suitable for shooting scenery, people and other things. If you shoot animals and exercise, don't think about how good he can play. There is a big gap between q and m, you can't change the lens, you can't do this and that, and so on. But Q is suitable for the ultimate fever, rookie gang, pretentious pie and girl paper ball. Q has absorbed Leica's high-quality tradition, full of German flavor, black and white, and the impact of the picture is still occasional, but Leica's Q has not forgotten its professionalism, which requires the operator to learn and practice constantly and have a certain understanding. This is the nature of Leica. If you want to exclude blockbusters from Q, you really need to study more. Q satisfies the lazy thinking, not as heavy as SLR, but not as small as other micro-orders. Walking in the middle is also to satisfy the touch of operators, more to satisfy the vanity of many people, more to satisfy the ultimate goal, and also to return to the basics of friends. In short, Leica Q is not perfect, even many people think it is not worth it, and there are certain requirements, but Rob's dishes have their own tastes, so be it.
I've had Leica Q for more than three years, and I always carry it with me. I use it to photograph social life and scenery. Shooting social life should be closer to the shooting theme. I think it is especially suitable for shooting scenery.
Buy a lens and get a camera. In a word, it's worth it.
