The latest Leica Q3 camera rumors


Here are the latest Leica Q3 camera rumors:

  • Leica is expected to announce the Q3 within the next 2-3 weeks update: could be announced in the last week of May
  • It will be the first Q with a dynamics display (not sure what that means) update: reference to the swivel display probably
  • The video capability may be pushed beyond 4k but not 8k update: lack of 8k is still not confirmed
  • Improved focus illumination mechanism
  • New battery and contactless charging system (similar to how an electric toothbrush is charged?)
  • New finish – similar to that of the new M11M update: the different finishes could be related to the lens hood
