Leica did this to simulate framelines inside the EVF.meywd said:WOW you got it already? tbh I don't understand the concept of changing the focal length, do they correct distortion in software/hardware? because even if you crop its not true 50mm, the bokeh is not the same as well.

I dont want to further anger Rocky but that's how Leica wants to do it.
Again, this camera is very much targeted at Millennials (35yo and younger) who are buying their first Leica.
This is why it also has so much features to complement our iPhones and Android smartphones.
$4,500 is a great sum for what is essentially a point and shoot.
But consider the price of 24MP M Typ 240 $6,380 and 28mm f/1.4 Summilux $5,950 that are not autofocus or autoaperture.
Makes the Q 1/3rd cheaper than an M + Lens.
Fine, you cant change lenses but have you seen the focal length range of RF? It is miniscule vs SLRs.
Something similar to this?meywd said:I don't think I will ever be a customer of Leica, because if I had the budget I would get a 1D X and a super telephoto, plus I don't understand why people buy RF cameras, with an EVF you get what you see, with an OVF at least you get the framing right, but with a RF you get nothing, and as you said not much focal range, however lets hypothetically say that I am, I would get the M, because first its 24MP all the way, second I can change lenses, third....well I am only buying because I like RF for a reason....and this camera is not a RF, is it?

It's essentially a point and shoot with a full frame sensor and an AF system that may exceed a 1DS3 or 1D4. Only other alternative is the Sony RX1 from 2012.
You buy it because it's a Leica in the same way you buy a Porsche because it is a Porsche. You can get the same sort of performance from a Subaru STI and mod it to exceed it but you're buying the storied history.
The brand.
Not to mention it is light and what have you.
Because at the end of the day a 1D X weighs over 3 pounds while the Q is less than half that.
It also has a red dot!meywd said:yeah ;D, in a combat zone that will make you an instant target, well I understand the brand thing, however the AF and the FPS are not that useful, since without a telephoto you won't need it, and you are in the wide focal length range, but yeah every product has its customers.

Why are you saying that I am mad. You need to be more careful with what you are saying. Also I mentioned about throwing away more than 1/2 of pixels from the sensor and cropping to 50mm, you does not seem to agree at that time now you are saying the same thing. Just think and be careful what you are doing.

now it seem you are really mad , at first he was just pointing you to the press release because he was simply explaining why they included the feature, then when he confirmed that the image will have less resolution at the extended focal length modes he mentioned it to us, but in the end, dolina didn't make the camera, Leica did, so when you ask "Do you want the camera to throw away more than half of the pixels from the sensor???" its not for him to answer, ask Leica.
meywd said:That got nothing to do with the pixel count as 28mm or 50mmRocky said:????dolina said:Read the press release.
Rocky said:Do you want the camera to throw away more than half of the pixels from the sensor???
I guess he meant this
Integrated 3.68-megapixel electronic viewfinder. The highest resolution viewfinder of its kind displays both the fixed 28 mm view along with focal lengths of 35 mm and 50 mm on demand.

The picture is taken with 28mm lens. If you want the 35mm or 50mm view, you have to crop it later or let it to be crop by the camera and throw away the rest of the pixel.neuroanatomist said:Rocky said:After the picture has been taken, You can crop the pictures anyway you want.

Leica's just $4,500. ;DDylan777 said:dolina said:I can confirm that the 50mm jpeg is 8MP. The original raw is 28mm RAW at 24MP.
I'll save my $6-8K for future MF sensor Fuji x100 body style. Either 28mm or 35mm f2 is fine with me 8)

I cannot imagine spending so much money on a Fuji.
