Weid rumor about a new Leica SL camera with Lumix S1rII sensor

A strange rumor is making the rounds, suggesting that Leica might release a “clone” of the current Lumix S1R II. The idea would be to fill the gap between the lower-megapixel SL3-S and the high-resolution SL3.

The camera would reportedly use the same 44MP sensor as the Lumix. Autofocus could see improvements, while video features might be toned down. One thing seems certain: it will cost more than the Lumix. 🙂

An announcement is rumored for May 2026.
