Q3 43 overview

The Leica Q3 43 is a 60.3 MP full-frame compact camera with a built-in lens, announced by Leica in September 2024.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits video, low light, landscape and detail, and bad weather. It is a weaker pick for all-day shooting on one battery and paid jobs that need a backup card.

New, it sells for A$12,600 to A$14,190 at the 3 stores we track in Australia that have it in stock. Over the last 90 days it has usually cost A$12,095 to A$12,600 new.

Worth comparing it with the Leica Q3, Fujifilm X100VI and Leica M11.

Low light & noise
