Thanks to the Leica-Store in Stuttgart, i had the Opportunity of testing the Leica SL3 in the Streets of Stuttgart for a couple of hours. This Video shows my first impressions from the 3 Hours of Time i got to test this new Camera.
I don't think you should of included the slightly out of focus photos or video (I wouldn't of, but I don;t do reviews) in this vid for Leica's sake. But the honesty of is appreciated. Hard to buy a camera these days that doesn't produce great images if the shooter does their part. Either way, I think photos frpm Leica cameras have a little more POP in them as they also do from Hassys MF cameras. Quality! The only thing is at the premium price, If the DIGITAL camera is still supported in 15 years, I wouldn't have a problem spending the money. As wildlife being my most shot genre of photography, (& considering I still use a Nikon D810) I could get by with one but, not the best choice for me. The M-System still intrigues me even though I only see out of my left eye for all practical purposes. Thanks for the vid enjoyed seeing your photos. And as far as out of focus photos,considering one usually chooses a handful of photos from a shoot, no big deal unless that one special once in a lifetime photo is blurry. Happy shooting.
Well I have to agree they are fine machines but lets not overblow the colour reproduction with your opening statment - which at best is fairy tale - if you go to Leica's own explanation they say on their webpage:- "The balanced use of both primary and secondary colors helps consumers quickly identify our brand. Stark black and white, with an understated but impactful red highlight. Light grey completes the palette in the greyscale spectrum, offering a nuanced hint or background color." you need Hass HNCS for proper colour - but to know Leica is to know that already. Nice pictures - but maybe now you will notice how the reds are re-produced!!! - Good stuff
