Video Description

The Leica Q3 is one of the most desired compact cameras on the market. The only issue is that it's ridiculously expensive. So what if we could take the far more versatile Sony A7CR and Turn It Into the Leica Q3... both from a looks standpoint, but also the image rendering as well.
