Leica SL3 Unfiltered. Just got my hands on the Leica SL3, In this video My review with Image and Sample video. This camera has truly blown my mind with what it can do for your photos and videos. In this video, I'm walking you through my real, down-to-earth first impressions after spending a couple of weeks with the Leica SL3. And trust me, it’s been an awesome ride so far. Keep an eye out, as I’ll be dropping a full-blown, detailed review after I’ve really put this baby through its paces.
First off, the heart of the Leica SL3 is its beastly 60MP BSI CMOS sensor - yeah, the same one you’ll find in the Leica M11 and Q3. This sensor is a true powerhouse, offering up to 15 stops of dynamic range. I could instantly see the difference in my shots compared to the Leica M11, and let me tell you, the Leica SL3 doesn’t just keep up; it sets the pace.
But it’s not just about the sensor. The Leica SL3 rocks a brand-new processor, the Maestro IV. This thing is like putting a turbo in your car - it supercharges the camera's responsiveness and kicks the autofocus (AF) system up several notches. With the Leica SL3, you get to enjoy phase detection AF and a smorgasbord of subject detection options. It’s fast. It’s reliable. It’s a game-changer.
And for the video buffs out there, the Leica SL3 isn’t messing around. From crisp 4K to jaw-dropping 8K in 10 Bit, the Leica SL3 is all in on the hybrid shooting game. Plus, with a dedicated time code port for syncing up multiple cameras, the Leica SL3 is ready for any professional setup.
Now, on to IBIS. The Leica SL3 brings a solid 5 stops of image stabilization to the table. And while some might get hung up on the SL2's 5.5 stops, in real-life use, the Leica SL3 holds its own beautifully.
Size-wise, the Leica SL3 has slimmed down a bit, which is a huge plus in my book. The SL2 was a tad bulky for my taste, but the Leica SL3 hits that sweet spot of being just right - not to mention it’s lighter, too.
Leica has really listened to feedback and filled in the gaps with the Leica SL3. They might take their time with updates, but when they drop something like the Leica SL3, it’s clear they’ve been paying attention. The dual CFexpress and SD card slots are a nice touch, offering flexibility for all your storage needs.
For many Leica enthusiasts, the tilt screen on the Leica SL3 is a standout feature. Depending on your photography style, this could be a major win. Personally, I’m loving it for video and street photography - it’s made the Leica SL3 even more appealing.
If you’re a die-hard Leica fan, especially if you’ve got a collection of M lenses, the Leica SL3 is speaking your language. The EVF on the Leica SL3 is top-notch, making those fast M primes shine even brighter. And with the new On/Off button and additional dial, shooting with the Leica SL3 feels smoother than ever.
Just a heads-up, this is only the beginning of my journey with the Leica SL3. I’ve snapped a few thousand pics and can’t wait to dive deeper. So, make sure you hit that subscribe button for my deep-dive review coming soon. Got any specific features of the Leica SL3 you’re curious about? Drop your questions in the comments! Liked what you saw? A like and a comment go a long way, and I’d really appreciate it.

@@BrandonTalbot That’s unfortunate. I loved my time with the leica sl line. Those SL lenses are simply exquisite. I wanted a camera that i could use for anything, and i thought the leica sl line would be it, but the autofocus could not keep up with my subjects, so i sold all my lenses and the bodies and have since purchased the nikon z9 ( the autofocus has been an eye opening experience) and the Hasselblad x2d. This set up is everything I’ve ever wanted. If the leica autofocus improves in the future i might reconsider it. But for I’m extremely happy. All the best.

Congrats on the camera. This sensor shines with those APO lenses. I have the 35 and 50 Summicron non apo. They are soft but with great tonality. The only APOs I’m using are the 35 and 50 M summicron an and loving the image quality. I’m Shooting mostly with M lenses. I had a little glitch but it was reviewing an image on the camera, where it will froze on the image and couldn’t do anything. Got that a couple of times. Formatted that card and so far so good.

@@GastonShuttersagreed. Actually returning mine today and going back to the Sony ARV. Bummed that it still feels a little too big for my hands and with the SL 24-70 2.8, feels like a brick. Also, my GM 35 and 50 prime lenses render better images than the newer SL summicron primes. The APO 35 and 50 are great , but not so great for travel. The AF is not that much more improved than the SL2. The Sony’s are so much quicker to acquire focus in really any lighting scenario. I really wanted to like it since I have the Q3 and M11P with 35 1.4 Close focus. UGH!!

I never turn off my Leica, after some time it goes to sleep, a half-press of the shutter release brings it back to life faster than it takes me to frame the shoot. Unless I am critical on battery level It works like a charm. If you want to save battery turn off screen and refrain your picture review, use the EVF

I am loving my SL3. The battery life has not been a problem for the way I work. I usually get a full day now vs half a day with my SL2. I only use the screen when shooting with models so they can see what it looks like to help them understand what I am going for. I prefer the power button now after using it. I prefer the larger body of the SL2, however this is not bad. I do not shoot video and would love a SL3 monochrom with out any of the video functions. SL3 Monochrom P version.

Had it already to test it myself, waiting for my copy. - To 12:56 , had also the M11-P, the colours are unfortunately a catastrophe, retuned it, despite of the M system being my preferred system since ever and forever. It has a purple/magenta tint, snow e.g. results purple-ish, it causes also the darker blues in the sky. My M10 didn’t have that issue, I traded it for a SL2-S which has also perfect colours, specially if it comes to skin tones for portrait.
@GastonShutters
@GastonShutters 4 месяца назад
Yeah. The skies are always too purple in the M11, when I saw the first pictures from the SL3 I was very excited. I wish someone can tweak color science in these cameras or choosing different raw profiles.

@@GastonShutters Assuming those 60 megapixel sensors are all the same, I suppose a bug in the M11’s and M11-P’s demosaicing algorithm. I have photographs from my former M11-P of volumetric hazy skies with wonderful sunrays but a purple tint impossible to remove and I’m a quite skilled LrC user.

I would love you to do a review about the famous' Leica colours', which seem to be vastly different between cameras (RAW straight out of the camera), also taking onto account different software options like Lightroom and Capture Pro especially. Is there really a thing like Leica colours if there are such differences (as I have discovered myself with various Leica cameras)? I still think so, because with WB adjustments in post I can still achieve a look with various Leica cameras that I can't imitate with my Fuji and other camera gear. Would be great to have your side-by-side take on it with all the newest Leica cameras you tested recently.
@GastonShutters
@GastonShutters Месяц назад
There is no such thing as Leica colors in my opinion. Color is subject to lenses, sensor type, white balance and many other factors. Rarely you would see a photographer post a raw photo without any editing. I thing most of the “Leica colors” people vouch about is Leica “Lightroom editing” oh and by the way. Leica sensors are Sony. So we should talk about Sony colors instead :)

They should have invited YOU to Germany for the unveiling event. I sold my SL2-S. Awesome photo quality and colors, but It was too big and heavy, especially with the SL lenses. Didn’t end up taking it with me on any trips. I could have used my M lenses, but that defeats the purpose of autofocus. Video control options are too complicated for me. SL3 doesn’t offer any compelling reasons to upgrade for me. I’ll just stick with the Q3 for autofocus and video, M11 for digital photo, and MP for film. (I’m not a professional)

Yes. And I prefer to shoot with it not because of its faster autofocus, but because of native compatibility with its manual and Af lenses. The ergonomics and user interaction are much better and I find myself using M manual lenses more than AF. So having more is not necessarily more.

@@GastonShutters I totally agree with you that the resolution is adequate, and one should not be chasing specs instead of being happy with what they have. My comment was rather a critique of the brand. The body costs more than ALL of its competitors while not meeting the same basic specs. I think this design decision tells me everything I need to know about the brand, and while I understand many may like the look of the camera or simply love the output more so than other cameras, I wouldn't feel okay with paying double for a 'premium' 'luxury' camera when it uses 5 year old mid range hardware for the most important element besides the sensor.
