Would you buy a CL fullframe 24 mpx camera?

I would be very pleased if Leica introduced a [full frame CL / small SL / Panasonic S9 with built-in EVF / L-Mount EVF M🙄], but I suspect Leica sees the Q as addressing that niche (small full-frame), even though that leaves some customers' wishes unfulfilled.

The latest 2023-24 results from Leica, state that The most significant revenue driver was the Q3.

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

The challenge for Leica is what do they do for an encore? The Q3 family is only missing an M version, which apparently can’t yet be done because Sony don’t have a sensor with the Bayer array that can handle PDAF.

Maybe an X Vario like Q to cover all bases?

I am using my SL lenses on the CL and my M lenses too. And I did not say, that it should have the SL size. I am sure there will be technology that enables smallness. And I am dreaming of lighter, smaller, SL lenses anyway. 

I use my 24 -70 and even my 90 -280 on my CL sometimes in addition to my M lenses of course

I know that I`ve said it before but I find my SL2s body unnecessarily heavy.

Not heavy per se just pointlessly so , which for some odd reason discourages me from using it unless I have to. 

I`ve also reinvested in a couple of the CL lenses .

for the same size and weight

only thing missing with the CL is fullframe

But im ok with APSC. 

full frame will be better tho 

will buy one in a heart beat. 

Thats the ultimate camera for me, CL FF with noctilux f1

I would be the first on the list for a CL2 along the design of the CL with a state-of-the-art 24MP APSC sensor, modern AF engine, USB Charging, IBIS, 5MP EVF, a joystick and a tiltable display. I would happily let go off all advanced video functions to save space and energy.

you just described the perfect camera.  maybe it wouldn't need the EVF if it has a good tillable screen and modern AF [for M lenses though it would be required]

it seems a no brainer to me.  it should be Leicas true anniversary camera.

I might have said so earlier... but I would go for a 60mp full frame camera with the same size and weight as the CL, and proper weather sealing. I would like IBIS but this would probably be unrealistic with a full frame sensor. I'd prefer a cl2 with IBIS and an APSC sensor but this won't happen.

I'd be happy without a screen at the back, and actively dislike flip out screens, but would like a better FOTOS app. At present it takes ages to load and keeps asking to download photos from the camera, or tries to sell me an sl3 which I don't want. As a remote release or remote viewfinder, the app is sadly lacking. I want something that connects to my camera and shows me a remote viewfinder or control panel within a second or two.
