Leica and Gpixel Team Up to Build Next-Gen Image Sensor

Leica partnering with Gpixel to co-develop a custom sensor is a bigger deal than it sounds — bespoke silicon is how you get Sony-level differentiation, and it suggests future Leica bodies won't just be repackaging someone else's chip. If you shoot Leica or have been watching the M/SL/Q lines plateau against the Sony-Canon-Nikon arms race, this is the R&D bet that could change the trajectory.
