Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

Better than the higher resolution SL2 for me!

I previously had the SL2, and, while the 47mp was great if shooting at low ISO, I sort of felt like the extra pixels are garbage pixels once I got over ISO 800. Plus, I have to do composites for work, so I'd end up downsampling to 18mp or so anyway to make the layers manageable in photoshop. The SL2-S has much better ISO performance and the colors just look better. For my personal stuff, I have a wide format printer and print fairly large prints often. Even when considering cropping photos and printing large, I'd still choose the SL2-S over the SL2. When comparing to other brands, both the SL2 and SL2-S are great overall. They just adapt to anything. The Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L Tilt-Shift Lens works great on this camera with Sigma MC-21 adapter. That's my workhorse lens for my paid work. It feels like it's a native lens it's so seamless. I also use several M mount lenses on this body via the M to SL adapter. Using the user profiles, it's easy to have an M Lens profile that makes using them a breeze. For example, I have the back dial adjust ISO, the front dial adjust shutter speed, the aperture ring is on the lens . . .all key stuff at your fingertips. I have the joystick set to punch in magnification if you press it, so choosing focus point and then punching in to focus is one easy motion. . . and you can turn the front dial once punched in for an even stronger magnification boost. I still prefer my rangefinder for M glass since that focus accuracy doesn't matter if you're wide open or stopped down, but this is the next best thing. And you can definitely get better critical focus . . . it's just a little slower than a rangefinder for manual lenses. .. .but still better than any other camera I've tried with adapted M lenses. Leica seemed to really design this to work easily with M glass. I have some native SL lenses, the 50m APO Summicron and the 24-90 zoom. Both are great on this body and produce outstanding images. I mainly use them in my tiny studio I have set up because the native Leica glass are BIG lenses and not necessarily fun to lug around. For me, I tend to carry the body and a 35mm Summilux-M on it whenever I'm using it to document my family out and about because the SL lenses are so large. I've heard the 45mm Sigma is the best of both worlds.. .functions like a native Leica SL lens with a size that's smaller than an M lens and much much lighter when you figure in the weight of the M adapter also. . .so maybe consider that as a great first all around lens if you buy this camera.

Built like a tank and results like a M

I came back into the Leica fold post Hasselblad X1D. Decision was to upgrade the really sluggish X1D or move back to Leica. Similar to the X1D the SL2S is built like a tank, and I feel similarly nice in the hand. Despite being heavier it?s easy to carry around all day. The files coming out of the camera are outstanding. Obviously smaller, but the camera makes up in speed (way way a faster). Plus I can use my manual Leica and Zeiss M glass so overall despite the downgrading in pixels I am super happy. Great camera,

The ability to do great Photo, Video & Travel.

This camera is durable and dependable. I love how fast it responds, its phone app is a game changer for me. After covid hit my needs changed. I needed a camera that can shoot amazing video and photo that is easy to travel with. I did what I had to do and traded in my BM mini ursa. I was heart broken to get rid of my old reliable for this new camera. This camera didnt disappoint as its 10 bit video is gorgeous, and the almost 100 MP muiltshot is stunning.

FEATURED REVIEWS

The ability to do great Photo, Video & Travel.

By ANDREW M.

This camera is durable and dependable. I love how fast it responds, its phone app is a game changer for me. After covid hit my needs changed. I needed a camera that can shoot amazing video and photo that is easy to travel with. I did what I had to do and traded in my BM mini ursa. I was heart broken to get rid of my old reliable for this new camera. This camera didnt disappoint as its 10 bit video is gorgeous, and the almost 100 MP muiltshot is stunning.

Built like a tank and results like a M

By CARSTEN S.

I came back into the Leica fold post Hasselblad X1D. Decision was to upgrade the really sluggish X1D or move back to Leica. Similar to the X1D the SL2S is built like a tank, and I feel similarly nice in the hand. Despite being heavier it?s easy to carry around all day. The files coming out of the camera are outstanding. Obviously smaller, but the camera makes up in speed (way way a faster). Plus I can use my manual Leica and Zeiss M glass so overall despite the downgrading in pixels I am supe...

LEICA SL2-S Two worlds. One choice.

LEICA SL2-S Two Worlds. One Choice.

Following the footsteps of the Leica SL2, the new fast Leica SL2-S enables photographers and videographers to achieve the legendary Leica look without compromise. Combining a new 24MP CMOS-BIS sensor, the latest Maestro III processor, and two separate shooting modes for photo and video, the Leica SL2-S offers an unparalleled, intuitive hybrid photography experience and the best of two worlds

Design. Made To Inspire.

The design of the Leica SL2-S recalls the iconic Leica identity and traditional design DNA elements that the brand has become world known and loved for. Best ergonomics, highest quality materials and state of the art technology are combined to a camera that is made to perform and built to last.

Made To Inspire.

Control & Handling. Designed With Creatives, For Creatives.

The unique, intuitive and straightforward user interface, which features separate photo and video sections, allows you to focus entirely on taking the picture. An unparalleled experience developed through the feedback of customers and professional photographers worldwide.erience, developed through feedbacks of customers and professional photographers worldwide.

Control & Handling. Designed With Creatives, For Creatives.
Cine Mode. Professional Film Performance.

Cine Mode. Professional Film Performance.

The Leica SL2-S captures 4K and Cine4K 10-bit 4:2:2 videos with Leica’s L-LOG gamma, at frame rates of up to 60 fps. Thanks to the integrated viewing LUTs, the user is able to have full control throughout the recording. Another pro-level trait is the camera’s unlimited recording time for videos, which means that the video length is only limited by the respective internal or external memory.

4K Video With HEVC. Futureproof.

The Leica SL2-S supports the highly efficient HEVC video compression standard for 10-bit recordings up to 4K/60p (h.265).

Videos can be split into one-minute segments, in order to minimise the risk of data loss. Other enhancing features include the automatic Follow Focus, an integrated waveform monitor, Colour-Bar, Timecode Input and Tally Mode, all of which further enhance the camera’s suitability for professional use.

Perfect Control In Every Situation.

EyeRes Viewfinder. Perfect Control In Every Situation.

The EyeRes EVF unites an outstanding 5.76MP display panel with an eyepiece built of finest metal and glass and the tightest mechanical and optical tolerances, to deliver an unmatched viewing experience and allow the easy composition of images.

24MP CMOS-BSI Sensor. Full Frame Of The Latest Generation.

The new full-frame sensor of the Leica SL2-S with 24 Megapixel and Backside Illumination produces excellent images in all lighting conditions. An enormous dynamic range, a color depth of 14 bits per RGB channel and a sensitivity of up to ISO 100,000 enable low-noise images of exceptional quality even in low light.

24MP CMOS-BSI Sensor. Full Frame Of The Latest Generation.

Maestro III Processor. Fast Working Speed.

The exceptional working speed of the Leica SL2-S is achieved through the Maestro III processor and a large 4 Gigabyte buffer memory. Image series with up to 25 DNG images per second are possible, as well as almost infinite image series in JPEG format, limited only by the memory cards used in both UHS-II-compatible SD card slots.

Maestro III Processor. Fast Working Speed.

Leica FOTOS. Seamless, Instant, Everywhere.

Leica FOTOS connects your camera seamlessly to your smartphone or iPad via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The app enables you to transfer images, control your Leica camera per remote, as well as to view, edit and share your pictures in several formats.

Leica FOTOS. Seamless, Instant, Everywhere.

Leica Object Detection AF. Fast & Reliable Focussing.

The Leica Object Detection AF ensures a fast and reliable AF. In addition to an array of modes and features, including face recognition, the high-performance AF system of the SL2-S also automatically detects whether a subject is stationary or in motion, and subsequently switches between motion and focus priority.

In-Body Stabilization. Sensor-Shift Technology.

An important feature for the work of many photographers is the floating suspended sensor of the Leica SL2-S. The highly efficient multi-axis image stabilization compensates camera shake fast and effective. This in-camera method even allows image stabilization for lenses that are not equipped with it themselves.

Multishot Mode. Images With Up To 96 MP.

Multishot Mode. Images With Up To 96 MP.

With the help of the sensor-shift technology used in the SL2-S, the tripod-mounted camera can record up to eight consecutive frames, whereby the sensor is shifted in half-pixel increments in between every exposure. This key feature results in images with an incredible quadrupled resolution of around 96 megapixels, leading to an extreme increase in detail resolution.

Robust, Dust & Splash-Proof. Produce In Every Situation.

The IP54 certification of the Leica SL2-S ensures an elevated weather sealing. Even under harsh production conditions, the SL2-S reliably delivers outstanding results. This allows photographers and videographers to concentrate completely on their work.

L-Mount. Unlimited Possibilities.

Being equipped with the L-Mount makes the Leica SL2-S fully compatible with not just the SL-System’s extensive lens portfolio, but also with TL lenses and, via adapter, lenses from the Leica M, R and S-System. The L-Mount Alliance provides SL2-S owners with access to over 40 autofocus lenses. In addition, Leitz Cine lenses – which are highly coveted among film-makers across the board – can also be adapted to the Leica SL2-S.
