With the SL3, Leica has created a very good full-frame camera that impresses above all with its high resolution.

The Leica SL2 mirrorless system camera (also available in silver anodised for around 7100 euros) benefits from the technology partnership with Panasonic and is impressively equipped. Highlights include the movable 47-megapixel sensor, pixel shift, 5K film recording and the electronic viewfinder with extremely high resolution...
The Leica can score more points for image quality than the Panasonic S1R at all ISO levels and therefore receives the "Image quality" purchase tip. However, the differences are ultimately too small to justify the high surcharge of 3350 euros compared to the Panasonic S1R, which is at least technically equivalent.

The Leica SL2 is a worthy successor to the first SL model. The excellent electronic viewfinder supports the employees of this camera, whose resolution has been drastically increased in the second generation. The excellent Leica lenses can utilise the high performance of the new sensor system to deliver extremely sharp and detailed images...
