Our Verdict
Leica users looking to upgrade from the SL or join from S or M-series cameras will be sorely tempted by the newer SL2-S body. Not only does it arrive with familiar Leica design and build quality, but also packs impressive levels of hybrid stills and video capabilities. Low light performance is excellent whether shooting images at 24MP (and the 96MP multi-shot option) or 4K video. Native 4.2.2 colour depth is impressive for internal movie recording and two LUT’s allow content creators to shoot with L-Log and view accurate colour whether recording in-camera or externally. Pending firmware updates will facilitate 4K/60p internal recording along with a number of other upgrades, making for a truly special hybrid content creators tool.
Discerning photographers who love the Leica ecosystem will be impressed by the familiar intuitive ergonomics of the SL2-S. We also love that medium format S lenses, M lenses, L mount and even R lenses can all be used on Leica’s full frame mirrorless platform, natively in the case of L-mount or with an adapter for other series. This flexibility, durability and desirable Leica styling with unique results, combine to confirm the value of their cameras and lenses to those invested in their system. In the case of the SL2-S a durable metal camera body comes with IP54 weather protection as well as a bright info panel at the top of the body. Leica has also streamlined their menus allowing users to quickly change between stills and video settings. All this comes with no time constraints for video recording and no overheating, as well as a 4GB buffer to support high speed shooting. We think this is all very impressive indeed and are sure users switching from DSLR or upgrading will certainly be considering this Leica as an option.
