Advertisement Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Hi sillbeers15, Take a look here rumors SL2 with 36MP sensor only. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Hopefully it will never be such thing. SL2 will be a real made in Wetzlar Germany camera, using some Panasonic tech, but a true Leica in philosophy, user interface, build quality and price of course. 😉 D-Lux, C-Lux, V-Lux are the worst Leica branded cameras. Made in China. They are not Leicas at all, only make up Panasonics. With philosophy, user interface, build quality of Lumix. But with Leica’s price sadly. Buy real Leica. Not fake Leica aka real Lumix. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted September 4, 2019 Share #369 Posted September 4, 2019 A Sigma fp might actually be more useful for me than a SL2. I've just bought a Blackmagic Design Video Assist, as a first baby step into video with the SL and TL2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted September 4, 2019 Share #370 Posted September 4, 2019 Cool. I am glad to see that Leica might get to a sensor performance level where Sony was with the A7R in 2013... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why so many pages are being wasted on something which is quite obviously a wrong speculation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted September 4, 2019 Share #372 Posted September 4, 2019 To use mathematical notation: dP/dM > 0 (where P = "Performance" and M = megapixels) is always true. Discuss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicci78 Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share #373 Posted September 4, 2019 We do not know if it will be 36 or 41MP. I guess it will be 41MP. 47MP is not in the philosophy of SL. 36MP will be more logical for a fast camera. The whole point of this thread is to know if you get similar hints from your reseller or any Leica employee? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted September 4, 2019 Share #374 Posted September 4, 2019 ^^^ It's the usual Leica Forum hysteria trying to second-guess the specification of the next new Leica camera model … members convincing themselves as to what it will or will not be. And when it is finally announced there will be a load more comments stating how disappointed members are and asking why Leica has not incorporated members' latest suggestions into the design … irrespective of the fact that whatever transpires was likely prototyped many, many, months ago Apologies for being a spoilsport but I've read too many of these types of forum threads … and witnessed the eventual resultant disappointments. Hence now find them amusing and rather too 'Mystic Meg' Maybe best to be patient Que sera sera. dunk 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bags27 Posted September 4, 2019 Share #375 Posted September 4, 2019 Nothing unique to Leica. Nikon just sent out an incredibly obscure announcement of its "most advanced" dSLR, D6. Not that many real care about that anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway ...... having pondered on 36mpx I would go along with it if : Dynamic Range was a LOT better ...... several stops at least and well into MF territory Noiseless to 3200/6400 like the S3 (allegedly) The ability to turn off or not require LENR. IBIS would be a welcome bonus. Without those as trade-offs against the pixels I'm on the fence. Bear in mind that with high mpx count images noise tends to vanish when downscaled or printed... I am the other way around. For me IBIS is essential. I don't care how good the colour is or the dynamic range if the photo displays camera shake. I had a second shooter on a shoot with me recently who kept his ISO low to get the best image quality. The issue was that a lot of his shots were unusable due to camera shake - but there was no noise in the images... Grrrrrr. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thread. I got confirmation by someone who runs a Leica store that it’s definitely not the Q2 sensor. He said it made no sense to put the Q2 sensor in the SL2. He should know. That was a changed message with a different tone than before and good enough for me. I bet it’s 36 MPx. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
