New Leica 1546 camera registered in Asia

By LR admin | Published: April 28, 2018


A new Leica camera was registered in Asia under the code name 1546. The new model will have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth installed. The camera will have the same radio parts as the Panasonic TX2 and Panasonic GX7 and it will use a new ACA-DC 16-E power adapter.
