Stabilization?

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

26 MP ?

   - 手ブレ補正 could possibly be translated as in-camera stabilization

 

[FrozenInTime]

If the camera is more weather-sealed would that not necessitate a refresh of the TL lenses ;

15, 28 and 50mm TL splash-proof Summicrons would fill out gaps in the product line.

We are all expecting CL2 but 26MP sensor is quite weirdalso because on asp-c size put 26MP means more noise  and no improvements in the overall image definition...then april is here, I don’t think it can happenat least not so early. 
but i like to hope it will be published soon ☺️

This sounds excellent. If we get the BSI sensor with the same colour science improvements that we got between the SL and SL2-S, then I anticipate a big step up in low light colour and noise. 24>26mp is insignificant, and I don't need or want more pixels. It will be nice that it is weatherproof, but the non-weatherproof TL lenses will limit its use in the rain. Stabilisation will be nice if it doesn't compromise looks, size and weight.

I've put my name down for one!

Before I get too excited (though this is consistent with earlier rumours), where did you see this?

My name would definitely go on the list somewhere for a CL2 with those specs.

I don't need IS or joysticks but i could be interested if it does clean 6400 iso. Thanks no tanks if it is any bigger though.

A backside illuminated sensor and IBIS would really transform the usability of the CL hand-held in low light. Interesting.

I was not planning to upgrade, but these specs would be rather tempting...

Lets hope the EVF is updated too!

It’s listed as one of the upgrades, translation above says 360 million dot rear screen, suppose to read 3.68M dot EVF , same EVF that’s in the Q.

[nicci78]

Those specs were out in the wild for a month now at Leica rumors.

Real question : Maestro III or Maestro II ?

If still Maestro II no thanks. The processor is far more important than anything else nowadays.

Just look at how cripple the Q2 is versus SL2

Hallo,

Look here: Leica L-Mount

[Marac]

My M9 is being repaired right now, and I may well be tempted to sell it and get the CLII while keepeing the CL too.

If the CLII is THAT good, I will have my CL converted to IR LOL

The most important upgrade for me is the IBIS especially with my ever increasing shakey bones, and also it would help me with trying to photograph birds.

I think the EVF is already brilliant but if they made it better then party on

It would be nice to be able to select auto zoom on all MF lenses
