Leica Camera maintains its enduring dedication to collaborating with the creative community, a partnership that guarantees its products meet unparalleled criteria. This collaboration yields a system characterized by supreme image quality, manufacturing excellence, and user-friendly operation. Now, the esteemed manufacturer unveils the latest evolution of its mirrorless full-frame lineup: The Leica SL3.
Priced at $6995, the Leica SL3 Camera obviously represents a sizeable investment but it’s the sort of camera that you’ll want to pass on from one generation to the next and the calibre of its performance really is second to none. The SL3 stands as both a muse and a reliable ally, taking the craft of visual narrative to unprecedented heights. It’s perfectly suited for individuals looking to refine their photography and videography talents and for those who wish to truly embrace and revel in the creative journey with a Leica by their side.
Boasting a 60-megapixel mirrorless full-frame sensor, the SL3 embodies the epitome of ‘Made in Germany’ excellence and accuracy. It skillfully merges state-of-the-art technology and intuitive design with the legendary artisanship that has been a hallmark of the Leica brand for over half a century. Within the Leica SL3 lies its heart: a BSI CMOS full-frame sensor equipped with Triple Resolution Technology, encased in a robust all-metal body complemented by refined leather detailing. Catering to diverse photography needs, the sensor offers the flexibility to capture images in DNG or JPEG formats at resolutions of 60, 36, or 18 MP, always utilizing the entire sensor area for optimal image quality.
The Leica SL3 features a lens bayonet based on the L-Mount standard initiated by Leica, enabling the attachment of superior lenses from all Leica camera systems. Furthermore, it supports a wide range of lenses, from ultra-wide to super-telephoto zooms, available from partners in the L-Mount Alliance. Consequently, this ensures the SL3 offers broad system compatibility, expanding the creative possibilities for its users.
The Leica SL3 introduces a revamped user interface, enhancing the camera’s ergonomics, button configuration, and design for more instinctive use. This update includes a sleeker icon and menu layout, providing a straightforward organization that simplifies menu navigation. Enhanced interface and connectivity options facilitate an efficient professional workflow.
The SL3 is equipped with CFexpress Type B and UHS-II SD card slots, a USB-C port for rapid data transfer, tethering, and charging, along with a full-size HDMI 2.1 output for connecting external displays or recording devices. Moreover, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities, bolstered by MIMO technology, offer reliable and swift pairing with the Leica FOTOS app for easy image transfer and remote camera control.
