This is a very impressive update; it's also kind of the ultimate overkill. But very enticing indeed ...

Lovely looking camera. I'd like one. The pictures and colours look really nice.
Considering I was looking at a £4K 35mm Leica lens yesterday, I'm not at all surprised by the price of the camera, but those accessories.......(is that a genuine Leica fugly pouch?).

Personally, I like the flip screen although in practice I don't use it that often on my cameras that have them. I don't think that feature would be enough to make many upgrade.
I love tilt screeens, hate the fixed ones... Finally Leica caught up with other camera sensors and pdaf but I guess the lens is too big to af quickly, similar to RX1R II. Overgaard have the review with other Leica camera photos.... I like Jono's review as he is the official Leica tester (he used to post here also):

Big change is the buttons in the rear as they are more customizable:

Is the Q3 the first camera that supports wireless charging?

Isn't it technically the optional grip which supports wireless charging? Or does the camera do it without the grip?
I believe you’re right. You need the grip for wireless charging. But in camera charging with USB-c is a big plus when traveling.
Does this matter? this lens swipes the floors with every fast 28mm out there, with the exception of Leica's own Summilux 28mm... Depends on what you prefer on a lens, of course.
For cinematic stuff, the Q is just an absurdly fine kit.
And if Leica runs out of money they'll put up a new line of Qs that have maybe 40mm lens or something. Could be fun

I have a Q2 and I'm going to stick with it. Autofocus and image quality are just fine for my purposes with the Q2. Plus, I can't afford a Q3 - at least not unless I got MSRP for my Q2 on a trade-in. And we all know that's not going to happen.
