The Leica Q is what comes closest to the original Oskar Barnack concept: compact, lightweight and high quality.
At a time when most new cameras are getting as complex as gas refineries...
Lumix S 1 47MP sensor, first effect of Leica-Panasonic-Sigma synergy!

I read somewhere else that the EVF will be OLED, which, if true, will I think be a first for small stills-focused cameras (cinema cameras have them already).

I'd expect the same sensor to be on board in Leica M 10 II, Leica SL II, an example of efficient cost-cutting for Leica, but also Panasonic.
Yet, a price-drop is not to be expected, too sad that Leicas more often than not, end in showcases due to prohibitive pricing. And I won't even speak of their ultra-slow(1-2 month, unless you pay an extra hi-speed charge!), ultra-expensive , and unsatisfactory service quality.

Be interesting to see how the existing lens handles the 47mp and whether the stabilisation is also being enhanced. If I was to ever buy a Leica, this would be it.

... they sparkle still the right Promethean fire.

You should! My son grabbed a Leica Q two years ago or so. It is a nice camera and the IQ is quite pretty.

This is great news that will propel the SL2 into production. Hopefully there will be several ergonomic changes to the camera as well.
Most interesting will be the EV range of this new chip as compared to the Sony AR7III and others.
