An image of the Leica SL2-S has been posted on an overseas news site. It seems to be equipped with 24 million pixel CMOS

The only difference I see from the current SL2 is Leica is blacked out on the front and the SL2-S nomenclature on the hot shoe, also black. Where did you find the sensor information?

I just painted my SL2 to SL2-S and have a brand new camera LOL

The answer to the S5.

As expected. Typically, Leica reuses the bodies, as well as most of the electronics, to a large degree. Having the S5, I'm interested learning the specs of the SL2-S, not buying one myself. No fleip-screen, apparently.

Ah ! That’s interesting. By luck, have you ever used the sl2? I’m very curious to know the difference in AF performance between the s5 and the sl2, stills and videos... any info to share ?

S5 is quicker and more reliable than SL2. Not significantly, but noticeable. Not a game changer, but good to have.

Body looks like a Monochrom being all blacked out like that.

It looks like the same size like Sl2.

I wish a smaller body

Me too. But they can’t afford it. 

[cboy]

Any size comparison between the previous sl2?

Now that a more portable sized sl wil be soon available, do you folks see a likelyhood of a M mount autofocus adapter  for the L mount system? 

Id think the adapter and sl2-s would be a perfect pairing for transitioning into SL/ L mount

Except for the big red dot.

So, no ‘compact’ SL2 body. I suppose it was never likely but still a shame. I’m sure the specs will be great though.

thank you

Give me an SL2-M, and my wallet is open. Those Summicrons on a Monochrome sensor would be spectacular. Great for portraits, landscapes etc. They have done it with the m and Q product lines, why not the SL? A lot cheaper than the monochrome Phase system.

A Monochrom S would still be much cheaper than the Phase (even if based on the S3 rather than the S007), and would likely provide even better tonal gradations than an SL2-M.  But I’d prefer the benefits of the SL2’s IBIS, focus aids, etc for handheld work, as the S would mostly be tripod based, which is becoming increasingly rare for me.  And of course the S would be much  less budget friendly than the SL2.
 

I’ve stayed away from the M10 Monochrom (and M10-R), but an SL2 Monochrom might  tempt for landscapes and such.  My M9M would better serve for more discreet walk around and ‘street’ use.

I really hope this means at least external ProRes Raw output with atomos! I believe their past interview stated they withheld from doing this because of the high megapixel count (correct me if I'm wrong). When I read 25fps DNG photos, that really sparked a hopeful idea for higher bit-rate raw video output as well– maybe higher than 12-bit? Though I know that is a far stretch for them 😢

I would have preferred my SL2 to be blacked out like that.
