The Leica Q3 (2023) is the third-generation Q-series fixed-lens compact. Its 60MP BSI sensor behind the Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH, combined with phase-detect AF, transforms the Q into a genuinely responsive camera for the first time.
60MP resolves extraordinary detail. The Summilux lens is one of the finest wide-angle optics on any compact. Phase-detect AF with subject recognition is a major upgrade over the Q2's contrast system. 8K video. Tilting touchscreen — a first for Q.
Fixed Summilux 28mm f/1.7 — no interchangeable lenses. IP52 weather resistance. 5.76M-dot EVF. Macro mode to 30cm. Digital crops simulate 35, 50, 75, 90mm at reduced resolution. USB-C.
Limited used availability due to demand. Inspect the lens for scratches and check the tilt screen. The Q2 is excellent at lower prices if 47MP suffices. Ensure firmware is current for latest AF improvements.
