Leica Q3 vs Q2! Can you see the difference? SPOILER: Issues.

I took the brand new Leica Q3 out for a test drive in the humid streets of Rome to see if it truly outshines the trusty Q2. From higher resolution to surprising technical "glitches" in the heat, discover if this upgrade is a must-have or if the Q2 still reigns supreme.

In this real-world field test through the streets of Rome, I joined fellow photographer Paolo Cipriani to put the new Leica Q3 through its paces. While the specs on paper—like the 60MP sensor and Phase Detection Autofocus—seem like a massive leap, our experience in the Italian heat revealed some unexpected challenges. Whether you're a professional looking to move your Q2 into a primary video role or a hobbyist debating the price jump for the Q3, this video cuts through the hype to show you what it’s really like to shoot with this camera in the field.
