?? The new Leica CL2 could see the light during the next year with several technical innovations (and a price increase) compared to the previous model launched at the end of 2017. The details have emerged in a recent rumor.??

Leica CL2 may be coming in the course del 2021, thus replacing the previous model (Leica CL) launched in November 2017. As in the past we will still be faced with a mirrorless camera with sensor in APS-C , the whole thing should be “seasoned” with the usual Leica quality.

Leica CL2 with sensor from 26 Sony MPixel?

The official technical specifications have not yet been released and therefore we have to rely on rumors coming from the Web. According to what reported, the new Leica CL2 should have a new sensor from 26 MPixel backlit and probably of Sony origin.

Still according to rumors, this new model will also have a new exterior design even if it is not yet clear how it will evolve. Good news on the weather resistance front considering that the camera body will be “weather sealed” . This will allow you to use this camera without too many worries, considering that it is a “travel”

model .

There will then be a joystick for managing the controls and a electronic viewfinder (EVF) with a resolution of 3.6 million points with OLED panel: a leap forward compared to the LCD 2, 36 million points of the previous Leica CL. Another novelty is the optical stabilization integrated into the camera body (IBIS) which will make up for one of the shortcomings of the model to the benefit of the user. The launch is scheduled for April 2021 with an estimated price of 2700 dollars . This means that the new Leica CL2 could cost more than the current version, but with different technical news (IBIS, EVF OLED, construction).
