More "pictures" of the SL2 https://leicarumors.com/2019/10/06/leica-france-leaked-picture-of-the-new-leica-sl2-mirrorless-camera-on-instagram.aspx/#more-60824 definitely a little smaller than the SL Edited October 6, 2019 by bags27 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaemono Posted October 6, 2019 Share #623 Posted October 6, 2019 Smart move by Leica. The zooms will require a handgrip in order to balance well with the camera (so, Leica can sell more of those), and M lens owners will be happy about what looks like a smaller, slimmer body.

I wonder whether some M users were looking for an excuse and a couple of ounces and millimeters might provide that--especially as the M10 is probably not getting the new sensor for a couple more years. Could it be parallel to the Q --> Q2, where so many were looking for a reason not to buy the Q (hate a fixed 28mm) but are suddenly buying the Q2 in droves (oh, you mean I can crop to 75mm?).

nicci78 Posted October 6, 2019 Share #631 Posted October 6, 2019 So Vader is really true, as expected. Nokhishita is never wrong. I think that it will have IBIS. Because Vader without the force, is only a weirdo with a bad costume at Halloween 🎃 May be not the super effective one of S1R. Because of size issue. But who needs a 10 stops stabilisation ? 👋 Actually it looks like that SL2 will be as big as SL. Only 1 or 2 mm shaved off. However the outside strap ring instead of integrated one, will make SL2 wider anyway. No more GPS window ? No more tracking possibility ? SL have got 10 buttons + 2 dials + 1 joystick + 1 switch And surprise SL2 also got the exact same count. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this M owner won't be. Largely because if If it's killer (and has a cut down version of the S3 sensor) then I guess I'll be buying two stupid expensive cameras before the end of the year. Might have to sell a Porsche or something. These new camera introductions are beginning to cramp my style. 😅 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The existing SL is already thinner than the Nikon Z7 and Sony A7R iv. I fear Leica is following the well trodden path of 'reduction of photography to essentials' with just improved image quality at the expense of silly extra features like IBIS ....

nicci78 Posted October 7, 2019 Share #635 Posted October 7, 2019 SL2 is not smaller or thinner than SL. It just looks thinner with design tricks. That’s all. A less effective but smaller IBIS can be achieve. There are plenty of room around the sensor. No need to put everything behind it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicci78 Posted October 7, 2019 Share #639 Posted October 7, 2019 The leak from Leica France was intentional. They are holding private SL2 workshops this Wednesday and Thursday in Paris Announcement shouldn’t be far away. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joakim Posted October 7, 2019 Share #640 Posted October 7, 2019 I assume "private workshops" for an not yet released camera must be for Leica ambassadors and similar that has signed some NDA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
