The sensor will not be the same; it will certainly have different microlenses and filter stack, even if the basic silicon is the same. The microlenses and filters are the bit that give the sensor its character. 

But it will almost certainly be the exact same sensor as the Q3, which has PDAF and the exact same focus system as the S5II (slightly different graphic interface but identical functionality). So, depending on lenses the Q3 should give a pretty good idea of the sensors *character*. And extremely close in DR as well. The microlenses *may* be different but I would think it would be far more economical for Leica to duplicate those in the Q and SL cameras.

but the Q2 sensor and SL2 was not the same!

I just got an invitation from Leica Spain to an event in Madrid on March 7th, in which "the new Leica camera" will be introduced.

So I guess that's it!

Very interesting and fun to scrutinize the icons. I would like to have a copy of this invitation. I think it's very creative and also a nice memento.

So max frames per second is, possibly, 7. And the exposure compensation can be adjusted in increments of 1/6 EV. etc...

I was looking for indication of mechanical max frames per second too and saw the 5,6,7 icons. I do hope its more than 7, FPS mechanical 😳

...But the M11's 60mp generally had more false color artifacts than just using a 100mp sensor, the latter seemed immune to it...

The thicker cover glass of the GFX, which is also gapped away from the sensor, may act as a very mild anti-aliasing filter. The M11 has extremely thin cover glass.

When we say "same sensor" we mean same base sensor. There are always differences in the toppings like the microlens array and cover glass. The Q2's toppings are optimized for the single fixed lens that is attached.

The main reason for less aliasing is the increased resolution, not the cover glass.

shooting these two cameras side by side for over 2 years, I see many image quality differences, especially in hi-iso where the Q2 creates banding at 3200 ISO where the SL2 never did. There got to be a difference!

I like this recent quote from @hdmesa

"When we say "same sensor" we mean same base sensor." 

So yes. I am looking forward to using my L-mount lenses on the same base sensor from the M11 and Q3 on the new SL3. Yes, there will be differences. My main interest is in feeding 60MPs or more resolution to my SL APO primes 😎 No, I don't expect dramatic differences between 47MP FF FSI and 60MP FF BSI.

has it to do with cooling like a copper frame around the sensor? I was able to check out tear-down videos of various Leica cameras.
