Leica’s rumored Q3 Monochrom sounds like my dream compact camera – here’s why

• Leica's black-and-white only version of the Q3 could land this year
• Without a color filter array in the sensor, noise is reduced
• It will likely also have a monochrome design, but otherwise be identical to the Q3

Leica is no stranger to niche and collectible cameras. Just this week it launched the 'Reporter' version of the powerful SL3 – and next up, according to Leica Rumors, could be the Q3 Monochrom.
