I was checking out some cool pics from a blog I follow and they were shot with a Leica Q. I've heard of the brand, but was not too much informed about them. I decided to take a look at the price and wowza! 4400 bucks new and no ability to change lenses.
They do have a really nice design--retro, but stylish. I've been wanting to graduate from smartphone photography, but this is a non-starter just on sticker shock alone. And one of the best piece of advice I've always followed with hobbies is to start cheap or used since it may not stick. For example, a beginner guitar player should not a buy a brand new Gibson Les Paul.
But Leicas seem to have a cult following online, especially with pros who use it as a hobby camera.
