Frigging awesome;
I have had the Q now for 4 days and a lot of that time has been traveling so really not much chance to use the camera. Yesterday was my real first chance to have a play around with it and here are a few things that I have found with it.
I bought my Q from Ffords in Scotland along with a Arte Di Mano case from Leica Miami and the Thumbs up from Korea. With out a doubt the Arte Di Mano case is the "dogs b*****ks" doesn't smell like the dogs b*****ks but smells unbelievably good
The Thumbs Up has p***ed me off. Reason being is that with it installed it makes the Zoom button impossible to find with my thumb so BBF is not an option.........Yes I could leave it off and still be able to use BBF, but I like the thumbs up on the camera so using half press to lock focus is no big deal
The Picture quality is frigging awesome as good as what I can remember of my M and defiantly as good if not better than my Nikon gear.........I'm in two minds as to how it compares to my Leica S but lugging that great big thing around town is a no brainer..........leave the S at home

I love the 28mm focal plane, its perfect for my kind of photography (up close and nasty), when I used to shoot with my Leica M my go to lens was the 21mm Lux....I guess I like shooting wide.
Another Jetty picture
The High ISO capabilities just blows away the M and S and I have mine set to Auto ISO 6400 1/125 when I am walking about. The picture below was taken in our hotel room at ISO3200
Auto Focas is sharp and snappy, looking into that bright clear EVF is a dream.
Ive had some issues getting the wifi to work the way I wanted but with some help from this forum and with google I have got that s*** figured out.
Just to have a fantastic walk about camera again has made photography enjoyable again...........its a keeper
