The Leica SL3-P is here, and it might be the most capable Leica mirrorless camera yet. James Artaius is joined by Chris George to talk through Leica’s latest full-frame SL camera, fresh from Chris’s trip to Leica HQ in Wetzlar, Germany.
In this episode, we discuss what makes the SL3-P different from the SL3 and SL3-S, whether 45MP is the new full-frame sweet spot, how Leica’s color science and menus compare with Lumix, Canon and Sony, and why the SL3-P’s lack of a red dot might be more Leica than the red dot itself.
We also get into Leica’s wider camera lineup, the SL system versus the M system, the L-Mount Alliance, Leica’s partnerships with Panasonic and Fujifilm, and whether the SL3-P is really a professional sports camera or more of a luxury powerhouse for serious photographers and videographers.
