A stacked sensor SL would be hard for me to ignore. I think it’d pull a surprising number of enthusiasts away from Sony, Canon, and Nikon too. Probably Not working pros, but the people already buying flagship bodies because they love photography. That’s Leica’s customer. IMO.
Pros buy tools. Enthusiasts buy experiences.
I still want to get my A1 II before that happens. The SL system feels like my retirement camera. Few more years.
Now that I see what one firmware update did to significantly improve the SL3's AF and tracking capabilities and now with the SL3-P, I am encouraged there could be some sort of stacked sensor in Leica's future. With the announcement that Leica is working with a new company to design and manufacture Leica specialized sensor(s) I am definitely intrigued with what could/might be.
Manufacturers don't like to reveal who makes their sensors, for whatever reason. For example, Panasonic has used Sony sensors in the past, but they haven't disclosed who manufactures the 43MP full-frame BSI CMOS sensor.. Most people believe it's still Sony, but as far as I know, that hasn't been confirmed.
I don't know, but I think I read somewhere ( perhaps forum conjecture) the Sony IMX366 is the sensor used in the Panasonic, and I now I hear from some reviewers, the SL3-P has the same sensor as the S1RII.
Yes, I read that too, but it's not official just like their 61MP sensor is from Sony though that will never come out of Leica lips
FWIW. As far as the 61MP sensor being a Sony sensor, that did come out of Stefan Daniel's lips. I'll see if I can find that source, but he was what I would call matter of fact about it.
