Leica Q3
Combining legendary Leica optics and a full-frame sensor in a compact body, the original Q was a tremendous success. The third-generation Leica Q3 further refines the formula. It's built around an all-new 60-megapixel, backside-illuminated CMOS sensor offering 14 stops of dynamic range, which uses pixel-binning to output 36- and 18-megapixel images for faster operation and longer bursts. It's paired with a new Maestro IV processor with an 8GB buffer and a new hybrid autofocus system that blends contrast and phase detection to enable speedy eye, face, body, and animal tracking. Video recording also receives a boost, with 8K resolution, H.265, and Apple ProRes support.
Thankfully unchanged is the outstanding Leica Summilux 28 mm f/1.7 ASPH lens, with an integrated macro mode. It's paired with a digital zoom feature that crops to focal lengths of 28, 35, 50, 75 mm, and 90 mm, expanding creative possibilities without carrying around extra glass. The OLED EVF receives a resolution boost to 5.76 MP with zero lag, as does the tiltable 3" display offering 1.84 million pixels — a 76% increase compared to the Q2. The new battery has 18% more power than the prior generation, and when paired with the wireless charging handgrip can recharge the camera without wires or an external charger, a first for a full-frame camera.
Bluetooth and MIMO WiFi are on board, with the latter supporting 10x faster wireless transfer speeds, and four customizable FN buttons allow for easy one-thumb operation. Ports include HDMI for video recording and USB-C for charging and data transfer, and IP52-certified weather sealing protects against splashes and dirt. The Leica Q3 is handmade in Germany.

Understanding Hotel California

MetMo Eddy
In 1855, French physicist Léon Foucault discovered that moving a conductor through a magnetic field could generate circulating electrical currents within the metal, creating a force that resists its motion. Nearly two centuries later, MetMo harnesses that electromagnetic force into a palm sized gadget, the Eddy. Built around pure copper and a powerful magnet, the precision-engineered object turns electromagnetic induction into something you can see, feel, and repeat. Send the magnet into motion and invisible eddy currents fight back, slowing its movement in a strangely mesmerizing demonstration of physics at work. Equal parts scientific experiment, kinetic sculpture, and desktop distraction, the Eddy re-engineers a discovery from 1855 for anyone who finds magic in understanding how things work.
