For the most part, you can run a Leica Q2 Monochrom on autopilot with the camera deciding the best setting for shutter, aperture, ISO and focus. Such sacrilege, I know: turning an expensive, full-frame camera into a point-and-shoot. But hey, it’s my camera.

I was one of the fortunate 300 who got a ticket to the Rabbit R1 Pickup Party in NYC later this month. I could have waited a day or two to have my Rabbit delivered without having to pay for airfare, hotel, etc., but the release of the Rabbit R1 (or its offspring) may well be a piece of AI history.

Henri Cartier-Bresson…blah, blah. First 35mm…blah, blah. Remember this: Legends are what used to be.
I’ve never bought a Leica before, so I just want to judge my new Leica Q2 Monochrom for what it is today. When you shoot with it, you quickly get why someone who spends an outrageous sum on a Leica will do it again. While people see Leica for the legend, I see it as 100 years of getting better and better at building cameras.

A couple days ago Rabbit R1 founder Jesse Lyu noted on Discord: “We prefer to take baby steps on the complexity of the OS.” In other words: it has to be right before it goes into the wild.
I was really happy to hear this. Far too often companies rush to launch, leaving out hardware features that quickly become obvious as missing and putting software out there that hasn’t gone through a stringent QA process. The results can be disastrous and even company-killing.
