robb Posted February 25, 2024 Share #1642 Posted February 25, 2024 Lol I’d love a Q 40/50. Bring it. Robb 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robb Posted February 25, 2024 Share #1643 Posted February 25, 2024 3 hours ago, trickness said: I agree that 1600 or above is really bad with noise - but I have my doubts about any product with technology derived from the M11 platform and all of its reliability problems. I just got a barely used backup silver SL2 at a superb price, and will likely get an SL2-S sometime after March 7. Hope I'm wrong, but I think based on the leaked images, the unique form factor of the SL & SL2 is largely gone, and given the fact that you can get a very nice used SL2-S for around 3K USD, the SL3 is going to have to be a very special camera for me to cough up the extra $4000 (vs a used SL2-S) for whatever noise improvements it may have. Let’s see a photo of your new silver sl2 with favorite combo… I will likely add one soon as well. Robb 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO it is not just pushability. Also the noise pattern just looks less ugly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf_ZG Posted February 26, 2024 Share #1650 Posted February 26, 2024 Recently I have been shooting a lot with the 2-s. I really enjoy this camera. I just wish it had a flipscreen and better long exposure possibilities. But this wish is not worth 7k to me. Instead of a new SL3, one could buy a good secondhand 2(s) plus apo/lux objective. The flipscreen I solved via the ipad and tripod mount. Long exposure can be solved with LENR. Despite previous ideas, I will pass on a new SL3. To me, a second body plus 50mm lux makes more sense. Question is, which SL to buy: the 2 or the 2-s. Had this struggle once before already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, for some reason, high contrast black and white images have a very different look with the SL2 and it was one of the reasons I loved the camera. But, as a low light shooter, the SL2-S was a better choice (for me). I do love the SL2-S, though, and I may end up keeping it alongside the SL3. I'll need to do a lot of side by side shooting to figure it out. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With your scenario as written, I would go the SL2 as second camera since you already own the SL2-S. 47MPs being the distinguishing factor IMO. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it will be similar to the effects of the having the Bayer filter vs not, like on the monochrom versions of the same cameras. Speaking of which... we never got a SL2 monochrom 🤔 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott kirkpatrick Posted February 27, 2024 Share #1658 Posted February 27, 2024 Isn't the SL2-S the newer of the two existing models, with newer and less noisy sensor. I figure to keep it and consider passing along the SL2 once the 3 emerges. My experience with M11 shows that sensor to be a big improvement. But when? Despite the rumor murmur, the usual suspects, such as Jono Slack, haven't started rearranging their websites yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
