Here is an updated list of rumors about the Leica M12 camera:

• The Leica M12 will use the same 60MP sensor and processor/engine as the M11, not the Chinese-made Gpixel sensor reported earlier
• Better dynamic range and different color rendering (M9 CCD sensor simulation?)
• No IBIS
• New settings menu
• No base plate
• The camera is reportedly already in production
• The official announcement is rumored for early 2027 (maybe even in December?)
• The Leica M12 will have a larger rear screen
• The buttons will be on the right side instead of the left, similar to the Leica SL3-P and Leica Q3 – the layout may look like this:
