Mirrorless Rumors spotted an Italian site possibly breaking the embargo on the 6,900 Euros Leica SL announcement due later today, and sharing some images from a kit they got for review.
The site has since removed the “offending page” but not before MR quickly captured the images along with the Google Translated text from the Italian post.

The basic technical data are as follows.
The 24-megapixel sensor, with no anti-aliasing filter, is a full-frame CMOS. The electronic viewfinder LCD has a resolution of 4 million points and is at the top of the EVF for definition and sharpness, as well as for the 60 fps refresh.
The rear screen is not adjustable, but is Touch; it is surrounded by buttons anonymous-style S for tidy interface. Body and lenses are tropicalized.
The SL will handle auto focus with contrast detection on a grid of 49 points in the viewfinder optimally arranged to cover not only the core area, but also off-center subjects.
