The Fugi sure looks larger to me. I personally don’t want a larger camera.

+1. Not sure why one would want an APS camera as big or bigger than a full frame camera but the FF Sony A7C is smaller if thicker than the CL and has IBIS as well so all hope is not lost for CL2 or CL3 users. I would not like an EVF as small as that of the A7C though.

In the SL2-S discussion a reader has information of no CL2 in the fore-seeable future.  If so, I will stick with my M10 or go Sony for a travel camera.

Need to consider weight as well, of course.

The more I reflect on this, the more I think I would be happy with more of the same.  The same CL I use every day, just improved in ways recent technology makes easy to do - a bit faster autofocus, a bit better viewfinder detail, a bit smaller VF lag,  a bit better sensor etc. etc.  No new features.

Once upon a time (before Steve Jobs died) Apple brought out a new version of MacOS that had no new features it was just faster and took less disk space.  Best upgrade I ever saw because it kept things as simple and elegant as they already were, with the same familiar interface, more speed and robustness.

Found an instant cure : use CL only with AF-C + AF target mode + no touch 

Then use the CL almost like a M camera with AF : point to your subject.
Then half press the shutter.   
Then the camera will follow the subject. It works great. 
 
NB1 : after each shot the point will stay at its last position. Very handy if you need to make multiple shots of same subject. 
Double tap to center it again. 

NB2 : if you use one of the two Monochrom image profile. The CL will revert back to colour when the shutter is half pressed. The target mode needs colour informations to work . But your image will be in black and white.

From Leicarumors, CL2 camera rumor:

  • 26MP BSI sensor (probably from Sony)
  • OLED EVF with 3.6 million dots (same as Q2)
  • Image stabilization
  • Weather sealing
  • New/updated camera design/style ???
  • Joystick controller
  • Expected shipping: April 2021
  • Expected price: around €2,700 (over $3,000)

A bunch of cameras already Fujifilm XT-3 + X-T4 + X-Pro 3 + X-T30 + X100 V + X-S10

Soon to be released Pentax K-3 mark III

 

The specs looks too good to be true. looks like my wish list. If true, it will be an instant success. I will definitely buy one.

Plus whatever Leica has learned about colour management from the M10R and SL2-S.
I totally agree - too good to be true - but I'd be in.

I’ve no interest in investing in another lens mount system - I've been willing to invest in m-mount because there is plenty of choice, great quality and it has a good resale market. I have a CL only because a) it works with my m-mount lenses with a tolerable evf, b) my iphone still isn’t good enough, c) it’s less expensive than the M10.

To attract my $ the CL2 needs to do a better job of being a mini M with an excellent evf.
