Well ... I love shooting Leica style so much with my X-U that I just feel I have to get the Q.
I tried it in the Leica Store Miami. It's fantastic. I love how much better the focus magnification and peaking work compared to the X-U.
However, my brain wonders about a practical matter. I know that Sony revises their RX-series cameras frequently, and so the brand new RX1R II of today becomes the laughably obsolete, nearly worthless camera of tomorrow very fast.
What is the Q product life cycle likely to be? It's been out about a year, when would we expect to see a Q II? Should I wait for a Q II or will the Q remain where it is for, say, a year or two?
I would of course hate to spend $4,250 in a week or two and then find that in a few months the Q2 comes out and I am green with envy ... and can't afford to replace it with the new one.
Thanks for any thoughts!
