According to recent reports, the Leica SL3 is scheduled to be officially announced in 2024. This camera has already been field tested and registered with a Type5404 certification body
Leica SL3 looks like it will undergo a major model change, with a higher pixel sensor and the adoption of image plane phase detection AF, as well as a new body. The effect of IBIS also seems to have improved by one step, and overall performance seems to be significantly improved.
