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.

LEICA SL2-S
Two worlds. One Choice

For photographers and videographers who seek outstanding imaging performance to express both still and moving visual stories, the new Leica SL2-S is the ideal choice to capture brilliant photographs and cinematic videos through an intuitive camera that is built to last. With its new 24MP CMOS-BSI sensor and separate modes/menus for photo and video, the new Leica SL2-S offers the best of both mediums in one all-metal, state-of-the-art body.

Best Of Both Worlds: A Full Frame Camera
Perfectly Suited For Action Photography And High-End Video

• The new 24 MP CMOS-BSI full-frame sensor, the first backsideilluminated sensor from Leica, is designed to deliver the legendary Leica look for photo and video
• Professional video capabilities with 4K 10bit 4:2:2 and C4k 10bit 4:2:2
• Made in Germany: High quality milled aluminum top cover and bottom, complete with IP54-rated weather sealing protection
• The fast all-around camera with Capture One 21 Full Support and Adobe Lightroom Optimization
• Seamless support of a wide range of lenses from the L-Mount Alliance, the Leica M-System and Leitz Cine lenses
• Fast shooting speed up to 25 fps for DNG and a 4GB buffer
• Multishot Mode with up to 96MP

A professional Photo and Video Camera that delivers outstanding results and is built to be a future proof investment.

An ideal camera for the photographer who wants to shoot in the most demanding situations. With fast, endless shooting thanks to the latest Maestro III processor, outstanding low-light performance up to 100,000 ISO, and full support with Capture One 21 tethered shooting, the Leica SL2-S is suited for all applications - from the field to the photo studio to the film production set.

Fast Shooting Speed and Professional Video Capabilities
In addition to the extraordinary performance in shooting photos at high speed of up to 25 fps in DNG, the SL2-S can perform exceptionally demanding video production tasks. Recording 4K at 10bit 4:2:2 and C4k at 10bit 4:2:2 video, combined with Leica L-Log and integrated viewing LUTs (Look Up Tables) make the compact Leica SL2-S a great alternative to more cumbersome cinema cameras.

The intuitively organized photo and video menu systems avoid constant time-consuming readjustments in sub-menus - meaning that the camera is correctly configured and ready to always shoot, even when quickly switching between photo and video modes.

Separate photo and video modes make the Leica SL2-S the most intuitive tool for professional high-end production.

A full-fledged video camera for the most discerning videographer, shooting up to 4K and C4K at 60p 10bit 4:2:2, with integrated viewing LUTs and endless filming in a robust body with efficient cooling and no worry of overheating.

Made In Germany: High Quality Milled
Aluminium Top Cover And Bottom With Ip54-Rated Protection

The only mirrorless full frame system camera designed and crafted in Germany, next to the Leica M, with an unmatched all-metal solid construction and elegant leatherette wrap. The IP54 certification of the SL2-S ensures an elevated protection against threats of weather. Less worry about water and dirt means creatives can focus more on getting the perfect shot.

With an all metal, state-of-the art German-built hardware, the SL2-S is built to last and keep its value in time.

A Versatile All-Round Camera With Capture One 21 Integration
Full support in Capture One 21 enables Photographers to use tethered shooting and Professional RAW image editing in every production environment.

Seamless Support Of An Expansive Range Of Lenses
