Leica Rumors

Did Leica discontinue their APS-C camera product line? (CL/TL)

By LR admin | Published: January 15, 2022

Cropped sensors have an inherent resolution limitation – just ask Olympus about that… This is even more important today, as more manufacturers are coming with 60MP cameras. We had some rumors in the past about a new Leica APS-C camera. Based on what the Leica Design Studio in Munich is working on and a few rumors, I am guessing that Leica has already abandoned its APS-C product line. The last time Leica announced a new APS-C product was back in 2017 if I am not mistaken. Leica TL cameras are not even listed at the official Leica Online Store:

The new Leica M11 has live view built-in image stabilization

After the Leica m11 camera was officially announced, I looked online to find out if my reporting was accurate, especially since several readers did not believe my report. Here is the M11 video from B&H Photo that mentions the new feature at the 4:40 minute mark:

Four new Leica cameras to be announced in 2022?

By LR admin | Published: January 14, 2022

One of the Leica M11 videos I posted yesterday shows the Leica head designer Mark Shipard walking into the Design Studio in Munich “where Leicas of the future are created“. On the wall behind him, you can see a long line of different camera models showing the past iterations of the S, SL, Q, and M product lines. At the very end of the wall, you can clearly see three different cameras in the S, SL, Q categories that are covered right above the just-announced M11:

Is this a hidden Easter egg telling us that Leica will announce four new cameras in 2022? Here is the video starting at the 2:17 mark:
