Still weathersealed of course - bigger fixed LCD - 3 buttons interface à la CL/Q2 but exactly same total number of function buttons as SL - same EVF as S1R - same battery as SL - available end of November - 5,990€ inc VAT in EU I think that you know everything As above 😉, but with the same sensor as in Q2: https://leicarumors.com/2019/10/21/rumored-leica-sl2-camera-specifications.aspx/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be interesting to see if the SL2 gets the same complaints that many (including myself occasionally) make of the Q2 compared to the original: that the pictures seem overly-saturated or just a bit off. Of course, even if true (and not our imagination), there are fixes both in processing and in post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicci78 Posted October 21, 2019 Share #986 Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) You are right. I was wronged by a famous reseller. His information proved to be wrong. As he never touched the camera back then. But my other sources were correct after the first wave of presentation workshops. They actually tried the camera.

nicci78 Posted October 21, 2019 Share #992 Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) With more and more people testing the camera right now . It should not be too difficult for Leica rumors to confirm everything before publication. Edited October 21, 2019 by nicci78 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bags27 Posted October 21, 2019 Share #993 Posted October 21, 2019 wonder whether Jono goes public just before, simultaneously with, or just after the announcement. I'll rely on him, as I've signed up for the camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distagon Posted October 22, 2019 Share #994 Posted October 22, 2019 13 hours ago, FlashGordonPhotography said: Hasselblad released 7 lenses in 24 months with the zoom coming next month. Leica are nearly at 5 years for the same amount of glass and many of them are very difficult to find. I don't think Leica has done very well at SL lens releases, personally. Gordon It’s probably harder for Leica to expand production of high-tolerance lens products when they manufacture them in-house rather than outsource production to another company as Hasselblad do.

In honest opinion, to Leica users there is no point in having choice of lenses in quantity but rather quality. As for myself, I’m happy with 3 SL zooms + SL75 as my SL (2) kit and keep the primes to M21lux, M35lux, M50Not, M90corn to my M10. I was waiting for the SL28, but perhaps I should consider the Q2 instead. Why bother if Nikon has 8 or 80 lenses on offer if it is not what I am after? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillbeers15 Posted October 22, 2019 Share #998 Posted October 22, 2019 So finally we hear rumours of SL2 spec at the 23rd hour as having a 47.3MPx sensor as in Q2. Just as what I have predicted earlier as the trend stays the same between Q & SL. I certainly hope the Leica Engineers have tweaked the SL2 to meet most of our expectations after 4 years since SL development & the months after Q2 announcement. For a start, the Reviews of the Q2 provided good feedback on DR and good AF. Now that there is the S1R as the benchmark, I hope the SL2 would not let us down as a lot on the camera is more than just Sensor hardware. The processor provides critical processing power and speed and not to mention battery life due to the way power is consumed by design of the circuitry. Firmware design is also critical as it determines the image IQ, Color and AF calculation cycles on AF tracking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
