Leica used CMOSIS sensors in the past. CMOSIS is now part of AMS-Osram and they are currently showing a new 70 MP sensor for 35mm format in both monochrome and color (RGB) in their product portfolio. Could that be the sensor for the next generation of Leica cameras?

The Leica Q2 camera is slowly being phased out – many stores have already removed the product listings, and others are out of stock or selling their last pieces. Even the official Leica Camera USA online store doesn’t have the Q2 in stock.
If the rumors are true, we should be getting closer to the announcement of the Leica Q-E camera. Leica is rumored to reintroduce the “-E” branding for entry-level cameras. The new Leica Q-E will basically be the current Q2 with some minor modifications (similar to the Leica M9 and Leica M-E).
Update: the Leica Q-E is rumored to be produced in Portugal in order to keep the price low similar to some M and SL lenses.

Bringing Vision To Life With The Leica M11 and Noctilux f/1.2 ASPH by John Barbiaux
Gear matters… I don’t mean it matters in the sense that the “best” gear will produce the “best” images, I simply mean that the right gear can be the difference between realizing a creative vision or not. I kissed a lot of frogs so to speak before I landed on the perfect lens/camera combination for me to bring my artistic vision to life and below is the story of how the Leica M11 and the Noctilux f/1.2 ASPH helped me create a body of work that most closely emulated the body of work I had in my minds eye.
Over the past three years I’ve been hammering away on a personal project called Life On Mars, documenting small towns and the American Dream largely following my curiosity and intuition. The title is a bit of a play on the town I live in, Mars, P.A., and capturing seemingly ordinary scenes that, after closer inspection, have a sort of foreign/martian beauty to them. I started this project using a Leica MP and MA using Kodak Portra 800 but quickly found it to be too slow and limiting for the images I envisioned… Eventually switching back to a digital Leica M, the M10P. Further, because of my job and family I was/am only able to shoot in the wee hours of the morning or late into the evening (i.e. low light) which necessitated a fast lens. Using a tripod is possible but draws unwanted attention when shooting in close proximity to folks homes (I’ve had several encounters with Police, all positive, at the behest of concerned citizens even without a tripod), so I wanted to handhold all images and needed a camera with a sensor that could push the boundaries of ISO and a lens that could basically see in the dark.
