Leica has just released their latest full-frame L-Mount mirrorless camera: the SL3-S. This video-centric camera features a new 3:2 24MP BSI image sensor with better low-light performance and in-body image stabilization. You can record internally at up to 6K at 30P (4:2:0) but also in 5.8K30P in ProRes 422HQ, and the full-size HDMI port allows for HDMI-RAW external video recording. So, let’s take a closer look at it! Before we get started, don’t forget to also check out my colleague Johnnie’s first look review here. German high-end camera manufacturer Leica is well-known amongst photographers for their premium lineup of stills cameras. The Leica SL3 was released last year and is the company’s latest digital mirrorless camera. The least we can say is that the SL3 has stellar features, including a 60MP full-frame image sensor, 8K and ProRes internal recording capabilities, a dedicated video mode, and so on. However, nearly four years after the release of the SL2-S, the S-line being Leica’s video-centric lineup of mirrorless cameras, the German manufacturer is finally back with its successor: the SL3-S. Leica SL3-S – features Like its predecessor, the Leica SL3-S features a new full-frame 24.6MP 3:2 BSI CMOS image sensor. Please note that 48- and 96-megapixel multishot modes are available for still shooters if you need extra resolution. While this decrease in resolution can seem counterproductive compared to the SL3 and its massive 60MP image sensor, the smaller sensor allows the SL3-S to have better low-light performance.
