In 2015, Leica introduced the SL-System, uniquely combining the two worlds of photography and videography. Now, those savvy Germans have upped the ante once again with the mirrorless full-frame SL3.
We living in a truly remarkable time, with technology developing quicker than we can keep up, which is great if you’re a lad who likes to stay on the cutting edge. Talking of cutting edge, the new Leica full-frame shooter is about as advanced a camera as you can shake a tripod at.

Combining state-of-the-art technology, extraordinary design, and the German quality we all love, the new camera is more compact, lighter, and even more user-friendly than anything the company has created. At the core of the Leica SL3, you’ll find the powerful BSI CMOS full-frame sensor with Triple Resolution Technology, which is safely protected in a solid all-metal body accented with elegant leather.
To meet a variety of photographic requirements, the sensor records raw files in DNG or JPEG format with a resolution of either 60, 36 or 18 MP and together with an expanded dynamic range and an impressive ISO range from 50 to 100,000, the SL3 delivers remarkably detailed images in outstanding quality – in all light conditions.

You’ll also have a helping hand, with phase detection (PDAF), depth mapping (Object Detection AF), intelligent subject recognition, and contrast recognition (Contrast Detection AF), all components of the SL3’s innovative autofocus system, which combines these technologies to create razor-sharp pictures even in dim light.
The EyeRes viewfinder of the Leica SL3 is equipped with an elaborately manufactured optical system made of glass lenses that shows the subject crystal clear with up to 120 frames per second while live preview enables full control over the exposure and composition of images even before releasing the shutter. Another new feature is the tiltable three-inch high-res touchscreen with a high-quality tilting mechanism, which offers even more creative possibilities.
