Kev Posted March 29, 2022 Share #105 Posted March 29, 2022 I so much wanted to love the colors out of the SL2-s. But time after time, comparison after comparison, I continue to be drawn to the SL2 instead. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin74 Posted July 16, 2022 Share #106 Posted July 16, 2022 Do you know if the SL2 has joined the SL2-S in terms of autofocus via the various updates? Or does the SL2-S still have an advantage in autofocus? Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aperture 2 Posted July 27, 2022 Share #107 Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I have also taken advantage of the ongoing Leica promotion, plus dealer discount, and ordered an SL2-s to provide some company to my SL2 📷📷 I will also try to make some kind of comparison…after my holiday 😎 Edited July 27, 2022 by Aperture 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At £3950 it thought to justify the extra just for the resolution. Talk to your dealer ... I ended up with an offer to get the SL2 for $200 less than the SL2-S (both new), went with SL2-S since it suits my needs better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting more moire from the SL2-S compared to any of my higher resolution cameras, or even my former M10-P. It's not a deal breaker for me, and doesn't happen that often - just that with other cameras it happens 'almost never'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a deal breaker for me, and doesn't happen that often - just that with other cameras it happens 'almost never'. Most 24MP cameras have an AA filter to prevent moire. Leica cameras do not have AA filters. Higher resolution cameras (>40MP) typically do not need an AA filter. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjazz Posted October 4, 2022 Share #112 Posted October 4, 2022 Purely subjective, and notwithstanding the small differences in the subject's pose I find the SL2-S image more satisfying as a viewer. The SL2 shot may be a bit more radiant, but the SL2-S version feels softer and more natural to my eye. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I moved from an M240 (24mp) to SL2 (47mp), and EVEN when using the same M lenses on both cameras, there seemed to be a rendering from the SL2 not just of more resolution (obviously, given the higher megapixels) but also of higher “sharpness” in terms of acuity. Almost unnaturally sharp for portraits at times, for my taste. Is this an aesthetic difference that people also see when specifically comparing the SL2-S and SL2, and if so, wouldn’t the SL2-S likely be a better choice for a softer / more natural feel (to use Tjazz’s words) if the subject is portraits and the output is smaller prints to say a maximum 16x24”?

Thanks for your comparisions. r/ Mark Very good to hear the 4x6 ft print size you are able to make from SL2-S. I was considering getting SL2 just because of the concern of not able to print big. I glad I got the SL2-S now, really like everything about it (switched over from Canon). Can you please provide any guidelines on if we have to do an special preparation when you print 4x6ft from SL2-S dng? Appreciate your help!

insomnia Posted December 12, 2022 Share #118 Posted December 12, 2022 I'd say it's relevant as it diminishes the only advantage the SL2 has. When I need to print big (seldomly) I first give Lightrooms upscaling feature (they call it Super Resolution) a shot. It's surprisingly good and 9 out of 10 times there's no need for manual changes later on. This only works with a proper sharp image to begin with. The website fails to deliver a good example, if you have the software already - just give it a shot if you weren't aware. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
romaing Posted December 17, 2022 Share #119 Posted December 17, 2022 I have a question for SL2 - SL2S users. How is the AF on those cameras after the big AF update? Is it usable for live music photography, dance photography? Is it now usuable in low light? I know it won't be as good as any R6 - R5 or other A7IV, but, how it is in real world use? If you have example to post it could be great Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wont’ bother with continuous AF until Leica adds phase detect AF. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
