The Leica Q3 is not just another camera upgrade. It completely lived up to the hype I had built up in my own mind. In this video, I share my real world experience using the Leica Q3 as an everyday carry camera and why its fixed lens pushed me to slow down, simplify, and take more intentional photos. By removing the choice of lenses, I found myself focusing more on composition, light, and timing instead of gear. I talk about what it is like to live with the Q3, how it feels to shoot with it daily, and why it helped me regain control of my photography. This is not a spec heavy review. It is an honest look at how the Leica Q3 fits into a creative process and whether it is the right camera for photographers who value experience as much as image quality. If you are considering the Leica Q3, thinking about switching to a fixed lens camera, or feeling stuck creatively, this video is for you. Thanks for watching and I hope to see you in the next one.
