Advertisement Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Hi Mr.Q, Take a look here rumors SL2 with 36MP sensor only. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

I said that about the original SL, but I loved it in full sight I will reserve my judgetment until I see it It does look "vintage inspired" by the original SL (except the "de rigour" grip), which would be very Leica Welcome, dear visitor!

nicci78 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share #503 Posted September 9, 2019 18 minutes ago, frame-it said: it says new adapter..so perhaps a new battery too ? They never talked about new adapter. It was just another Panasonic power adapter tested for approval at the same time as Leica 2998. Nothing related between them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bags27 Posted September 9, 2019 Share #504 Posted September 9, 2019 guess a smaller SL2 was too much to hope for. They say it's 47 mps; again, maybe too much to hope for that they would take risks with a smaller, more interesting sensor. Playing it safe in this market is of course entirely understandable. Guess I'm waiting for the foveon L mount before I feel any excitement. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nokishita never reports wrong rumors. Everything they ever post are rock solid, and can be considered as true. It just typical Leica PR stunts, an "anonymous" email to Nokishita to startup the excitement before the real launch. Just like that for years. By the way, SL2 is really ugly.

Chaemono Posted September 9, 2019 Share #506 Posted September 9, 2019 Like thighslapper said, if this is the SL2, I’ll publicly eat my underpants on YouTube. 😁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting if they added a USB-C port so you could charge the battery in-camera, use it for long studio settings, and increase the transfer rate vs even current dongles.

I actually like the front design, but the best thing about the SL was the 4-button control layout. Not sure why they decided to ditch that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicci78 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share #510 Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) What Dr Kaufmann said was true : SL2 will be only slightly smaller and will be more elegant with round corners. Not sure about the elegant part. It may look better in person. But round corners it has. Welcome, dear visitor!

LocalHero1953 Posted September 9, 2019 Share #513 Posted September 9, 2019 If that's the control layout, that's a plus to me. I keep having to relearn it when I switch from CL to SL and back. And I find I only use 2-3 of the 4 buttons. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicci78 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share #514 Posted September 9, 2019 Hopefully they kept the diamond style leatherette from the Q. I missed it on the CL. But they changed the leatherette orientation. The diamond pattern is now vertical on SL2 instead of horizontal on the Q, SL and Q2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

giampo Posted September 9, 2019 Share #517 Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) I find it really beautifull!

thighslapper Posted September 9, 2019 Share #520 Posted September 9, 2019 If this is correct I suspect GPS is under the hotshoe. There are the same number of buttons overall ...... one lost on the back and one gained on the front (it looks dual rather than single, now) ..... but if they are using the CL pattern you have lost the long/short press functionality. I can't say I've ever been a great fan of the CL control implementation ..... I feel it's one button short. I can see why Leica might want to harmonise things over all their models, but I'm not that convinced that dumming down is the answer. I'm beginning to have concerns now about LENR ....... and IBIS ...... a smaller or the same size body as before makes both a tall order unless they have stolen the insides of a Sony AR7..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
