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.

While the world of photography continues to evolve, the Leica SL2-S Mirrorless Camera with Summicron-SL 50mm f/2 ASPH Lens stands as a testament to the perfect blend of tradition and innovation. This full-frame mirrorless camera, a marvel in the realm of digital imaging, is meticulously crafted to enhance both still photography and videography. Ideal for professional photographers and video enthusiasts alike, this camera marries Leica's classic aesthetics with modern, hybrid functionality.

At the heart of the Leica SL2-S lies a highly versatile 24.6MP BSI CMOS sensor, ensuring superior imaging capabilities for both stills and video applications. Coupled with the sophisticated Maestro III image processor, this camera delivers swift performance, a broad ISO sensitivity range of 50-100,000, and strikingly vibrant image quality with minimal noise. The sensor's BSI design ensures clean color and tonal rendering, even at higher ISO settings, while the absence of a low-pass filter guarantees maximum sharpness and resolution.

The Leica SL2-S goes beyond the ordinary with its DCI/UHD 4K 10-bit video recording capabilities, offering both DCI and UHD 4K recording at up to 60p. This feature allows for internal 10-bit 4:2:2 recording for frame rates up to 30p, and 60p at 8-bit 4:2:0. When recording externally via the full-size HDMI port, 10-bit output is available at all frame rates for DCI and UHD 4K. Full HD recording is also supported with high-speed frame rates up to 180 fps for slow-motion playback.

The camera's 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization ensures sharper and clearer imagery, even when shooting handheld. This feature, combined with the Multishot mode, captures and compiles eight separate exposures to create a single 96MP file, resulting in a more detailed and color-accurate image with an impressive 12000 x 8000-pixel resolution.

The Leica SL2-S is not just about superior performance; it also boasts a robust, weather-sealed body design, featuring a 5.76m-dot EyeRes OLED EVF and a large 3.2" 2.1m-dot touchscreen LCD. The camera also offers dual UHS-II-compatible SD memory card slots for flexible file-saving options. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, in conjunction with the Leica FOTOS app, allow for wireless file transferring and remote camera control.

The Leica SL2-S also features a sophisticated Object Detection AF system, ensuring rapid autofocusing and subject tracking. This contrast-detection type focus method is a game-changer for both still and video recording modes.

The included Summicron-SL 50mm f/2 ASPH. Lens (L-Mount) is a testament to Leica's commitment to quality and performance. This wide-angle prime lens offers an ideal 50mm focal length coupled with a bright f/2 maximum aperture, ensuring incredible control in various lighting situations. The lens features three aspherical elements that reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations, resulting in unparalleled image sharpness and clarity.

The Leica SL2-S Mirrorless Camera with Summicron-SL 50mm f/2 ASPH Lens is more than just a camera; it's a powerful tool that allows photographers and videographers to explore new creative horizons. With its robust construction, compact design, and cutting-edge technology, this dynamic duo is perfectly suited for all types of photography and filmmaking.
