It looks like a typo rather than an accidentally released announcement. Yep. Maybe new products are being added there... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can be sure Leica will present a new Q3 at the end of next week. 🤷♂️ Q2 arrived - Q3 should be launched tomorrow. It‘s like washing the car - it will rain next day for sure… 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Chef Posted April 19, 2023 Share #43 Posted April 19, 2023 I think you have breathing room until the autumn at the earliest, and if they launch the critical SL3 first, then spring of next year may be it for the Q3. The new firmware is a good indicator of it not arriving soon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwertynm Posted April 19, 2023 Share #44 Posted April 19, 2023 Or it could mean that they finalized the golden build of the firmware for the Q3 and are releasing the improved face/eye detect algorithm to the Q2 as well. Who really knows? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who really knows? Logic says no on two fronts: 1) You never give anything away for free and why give a software upgrade to a camera that's got at maximum a year before it's replaced. 2) The sensor in the Q3 will be significantly more powerful (we have been led to believe) so the v5.0 improvements for the Q2 will need to be redeveloped for the new sensor and its greater capabilities.

Q3 is a far more important camera for Leica than the SL series 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when the Q3 comes out before the SL3 (which even Leica rumors has suggested) you can state your mea culpa in a late post 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica Manchester are quoting up to 16 weeks delivery for the Q2 Disney. I doubt this latest limited edition would overlap with the Q3. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Chef Posted April 23, 2023 Share #57 Posted April 23, 2023 Agree. You also don’t go through the expense of a major Firmware upgrade to give away on a camera that will be replaced in a couple of months. That’s not sound business sense. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, as rumours suggest, the Q2 might be retained as a "Q-E", then such a conclusion may not be safe. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
