Can Leica Q hold up after Sony R 1X RII comes out?

It doesn't matter whether the style is different or not.

Before Japanese cameras swept the world, every German brand camera had its own unique imaging style. However, Japanese cameras have basically abandoned the so-called brand imaging style, resulting in different imaging tastes of each Japanese digital camera. Since the era of film cameras, Leica has always insisted on its own unique imaging style, that is, the taste of Leica in people's mouth. Then, after other German brand cameras died out, Leica taste gradually became synonymous with German taste.

Therefore, users who like high performance and high resolution will naturally choose RX 1 RII, while users who like Leica flavor and German flavor will naturally choose Leica Q. People spend money on cameras, and after two years, their performance can be surpassed, but the brand imaging style passed down is difficult to be surpassed, which is also the reason for Leica's high ability to maintain value. Even with the best camera, it is difficult to capture the style and taste of Leica, and the color can be adjusted. However, in the later digital age, problems such as scattered scenery, Jiao Wai, softness, light and shadow have not been solved.

It's like Epson RD 1 almost 10 years ago. The market price of second-hand RD 1 is almost 4-5,000 yuan, and the resolution is only 6 million, but it is still sought after by old photographers. Why? Because the color of RD 1 is the best among the direct digital cameras so far, so far no camera dares to say that its direct color can be better than it. This is the charm brought by the imaging style. If you just look at the resolution sensor, RD 1 estimates that 200 yuan is not worth it.
