Every morning I am hoping to see an official announcement regarding the Leica Q3 and what lens it will have ... waiting ... waiting ... hoping for my choice, but only time will tell ... hope for good news sometime this year.Am I the only one waiting and hopeful?David

May I ask what improvements you would like to see ? +MP ? Tilt screen or higher resolution ?  Focal length ?  PDAF ?Thanks !

Unless you are good with being a disrupted Beta Tester.

My only request if if my voice counted is 50mm focal length.all the past versions of the Q and Q2 are excellent, so if I were happy with what I have, why would I upgrade except for a different focal length?David

Unless you are good with being a disrupted Beta Tester.The Q2 was not so buggy when it first appeared … as I recall?? So, maybe the initial construction of the Q3 will enjoy the same path to success … waiting … hoping.David

You’ll be waiting a while for the announcement.I can understand this situation you speak of.Apple does not change the basic focal length of the iPhone … they stay with a winner; so, Leica too plays the same game for financial success. Their business-model algorithm may be different than what I hope it would be … waiting … hoping for 50mm.David

The CL and its lenses were at a perfect price point for my budget. Note: the reason I desire the 50mm is for museum photos. Here in Houston, I am not too excited about street photography … I find safety and security inside Museum Fine Arts Houston.David

I suspect you will be waiting awhile. Until you start to see discount offers on the Q2 or “Sold Out” posted on major retail sites, I suspect Leica will be happy to keep selling the Q2/M.Leica will likely launch the M11M first. There is also a question about seeing a SL3-S based on the new Lumix S5II.If the Q3 comes this year I would be surprised. If, as expected, it comes with a 60MP sensor  there’s almost no reason for it to have any other lens than the current 28mm.

I know what you mean about Houston. If I am out by myself, I keep an eye on what is going on around me. I need to get back to MFAH. To shoot the Kinder building.

I'm doing the sameMy only expectations:- larger EVF (hello, SL2)- slightly larger screen. No need to change Q2 design, there is plenty of space under Q2 screen glass. Just put in corner-to-corner screen with higher resolution. And please, please keep the old design, do not make tilt screen- faster image processor (Maestro III?)- USB-C interface with in-camera battery chargingFinally, I would love to see 35mm lens, if not, it wouldn't stop me buying Q3 anyway

Note: as I remember, the ad did mention that the camera’s origin is sent from another dealer.waiting… hopingDavid

To shoot the Kinder building.Lots of cool architecture, vista in the Kinder, especially if you have a 14mm or 20mm lens(s); Thursday is a free day except for parking.I’ve had great times in the Kinder.The current MFAH news is incredible:https://www.mfah.org/press/mfah-announces-partnership-with-sarofim-foundationToday, Friday, I will be there looking to see if any of the Sarofim art is on display. I’ll have the D850 and 50mm lens.David
