Why then would Leica use OIS in a camera with short focal lengths? It works well, so why the need to change something that would add more expense and more bulk? If that’s what you’re looking for, then an SL3 might be a better choice for you.

Because they are stuck in old technology and as I said before that IBIS should not require a larger camera body with present technology. The SL3 is definitely not what I consider portable, I would greatly prefer Hasselblad to it for a camera of similar size!

Cameras smaller than the Q have IBIS. 
OIS is ok-ish, but not that great compared to IBIS for 28 and 43mm. 
 

The reason why Leica went with OIS is because Panasonic didn’t have full frame IBIS tech. 
IBIS on a Leica was introduced on the SL2, and on a full frame Panasonic on the S1, in 2019, 4 years after the Q was launched

Who cares? If you don’t like Leica’s technology there’s always Sony you can buy.

I would if Sony releases a RX1R II successor with a rumored curved sensor. So there is no Sony to buy at least this year!

weather sealing and dust proof

electronic shutter with stacked sensor

better EVF

joystick 

 

Going full electronic shutter will eliminate leaf shutter mechanism so that's extra room for further improvement on either IP rating or focus speed.

''twas ever thus

Had there been social media outlets in 1925 I wonder how many Leica I owners might have speculated about a fixed wide angle lens instead of 50mm on the next model - or even suggested how great it would be if lenses could somehow be changed in future models!

I have a first suggestion for an inclusion for the Q5.

Reinstate the flip screen that was removed from the Q4 by public demand 😂

Happy New Year to all 🥳

My advice is to wait for the Q6 with AI auto-compose and auto-posting of any issues and wishes directly into this forum.

My wish would be to have a collapsible lens to improve portability in my coat vest! 60 MB sensor is plenty! Now with AI you can enlarge any lower MP files! 

Collapsible lenses have some serious backdraws

  • camera housing need to be bigger to fit the lens inside
  • dust will be sucked in camera body as the lens "breath" when collapsing and extending, most of my compacts did that
  • same breathing kan suck humidity and lens fungus spores inside with catastrophic effects
  • probably difficult to keep Leica optical quality on a collapsible lens
  • waterproofing

One point that i love my Q2 is that she is dust and waterproof and to carry her in a bigger pocket or a small bag is not a issue for me.

Or maybe just a pancake f/4 lens.

Collapsible lenses bring issues.

AI cannot replace detail accurately.

The most valuable improvements would relate to autofocus. Tracking should be better (it should be more sticky, and shouldn't wander around for no reason). Eye/Face/Body Detection should be better. Low light autofocus should be better.

The implementation of Eye/Face/Body Detection on the Q3 is bananas. Moving focus from one person to the next sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. There's no need for boxes on every face or body. Current Sony cameras (A7iv and newer) do this better, making it easy to pick one person in a group and have the focus track that person like magic, without the clutter of many focus boxes.

The Q3 body is pretty great, so I wouldn't change it much. I don't care for accessories (grips, etc.) that make it bigger/bulkier/heavier.
