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

I agree with @beeweeabove. I have never tried the other cameras you mention, but I am content with AFs/iAF in the SL2-S, while acknowledging there is scope for improvement. Both live music and dance encompass a wide range of energy and speed of movement, but most of the shots on my website are with the SL or SL2-S. See the dance shots from Chess, for example, or some of the fight scenes from Dunsinane. If I was doing very close-up dance photography, I might be more dissatisfied.

Thank for your answer and the links.

I'm not so sure... The best way would be to try the camera but I don't have a Leica Store near me, and my local camera shop is clearly "anti Leica".
