Hi,
my Leica Q3 42 arrived today. I have to charge it first. I hope that I will have the time to do some pictures tomorrow. It is getting dark already in Germany. But here are already some first impressions of the unboxing.
The Leica Q3 43 is not as well presented in a box as it was the case with the Leica Q3. This is a difference like night and day. This is disappointing to be honest. The package feels cheap comparad to the one of the Leica Q3. With other brands I would not care, but with Leica, I expect more. Especially if the Leica costs 800€/USD more than what I paid last year for the Q3 (Leica increased the price of the Q3 from 5.950€ to 6.250€ this year).
Even worse, there is no charger included anymore... WTF?
Come on Leica, this is not a a cheap product from the rummage tables at electronics retailers. I paid 6.750€ for a compact camera and get a cheap box of a 200€ P&S and even have to pay extra for the charger? Shall I be glad now that they put a battery at all in the box?
I am sorry, but if Leica sets the bar so high with its marketing and with this price tag, they also have to deliver. People will judge them by their statements. This is only fair.
Ok, let's wait until tomorrow. I hope that my impressions will get better tomorrow...
