With the Leica Q3 43, Leica presents a new model that combines the proven features of the Q series with an exciting focal length. This 3rd generation of the Leica Q family impresses with its classic, minimalist design and high-quality workmanship, combined with the most advanced technology. The Leica Q3 43 offers photographers and creatives worldwide perfect photo and video results, without compromising on performance and style.
Performance at the highest level: the BSI CMOS sensor
At the heart of the Leica Q3 43 beats the advanced BSI CMOS sensor with Triple Resolution Technology, which offers a choice of 60, 36 or 18 megapixel resolution. Regardless of the resolution selected, images are captured in the highest quality with impressive sharpness and detail. The Leica Q3 uses the entire sensor area in all resolution modes, which, in combination with an ISO range of 50 to 100,000, guarantees flexible and outstanding performance in all lighting situations.
Optical masterpiece: Summicron Lens
The Leica Q3 43 is equipped with the new 43mm f/2.0 APO Summicron Lens, which not only offers outstanding optical performance, but also reduces chromatic aberrations to a minimum. The integrated macro mode is used for detailed shots, with which a close focusing distance of 26.5 cm can be achieved. This technical brilliance is complemented by the digital zoom, which covers focal lengths from 43mm up to 150mm without sacrificing image quality.
First-class autofocus and brilliant display
The new hybrid autofocus system of the Leica Q3 43 sets standards in precision and speed. Phase detection, contrast AF and DFD technology work together to ensure ultra-fast and accurate focusing, whether for static subjects or moving objects. Images are displayed in impressive clarity on the new 5.76 MP OLED viewfinder, making manual focusing as well as using autofocus a pleasure.
New display for creative freedom
Another highlight of the Leica Q3 43 is the tilting, high-resolution 3-inch touchscreen. With its high-quality tilting mechanism, it enables unique shooting angles and more creativity when photographing and filming. Despite this movable design, the camera remains protected against dust and splash water thanks to IP52 certification.
Next generation connectivity
The Leica Q3 43 impresses with its seamless connectivity via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, which speeds up the transfer of data to the Leica FOTOS app many times over thanks to MIMO technology. Images and videos can be quickly transferred to mobile devices via the app, and creative filters can be applied directly to the camera with "Leica Looks". The camera is also compatible with the "Made for iPhone® and iPad®" accessories, which facilitates integration into the mobile workflow of photographers and creatives.
8K video and professional interfaces
In addition to impressive photographic features, the Leica Q3 43 now also offers the ability to record video in 8K resolution. Highly efficient codecs such as H.265 and Apple ProRes ensure the best video quality, while external devices such as gimbals, power banks or external recorders can be connected via USB-C and HDMI. Tethered shooting with Capture One or Adobe Lightroom is also supported via USB-C.
Wireless charging and stylish customization
With the new Leica Charging Pad, wireless charging of the powerful BC-SCL6 battery is now even more convenient. The camera is also equipped with a wide range of accessories for a personalized look. Thumb rests, lens hoods, soft triggers and hot shoe covers are available in different colors to perfectly match the camera to your personal style.
The Leica Q3 43 offers the perfect combination of innovative technology and traditional craftsmanship. It is aimed at photographers looking for a compact but powerful full-frame camera with a unique focal length and outstanding image quality.
