Another good reason to wait for a -S variant Nothing a little black paint can't fix. Or tape. At least for me, the aesthetics of these options aren't any worse than the chunky white script...

In which case why would they cripple it and then unlock it with firmware as mentioned in the article? Edited March 5, 2024 by Dr. G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etto72 Posted March 5, 2024 Share #1924 Posted March 5, 2024 I really hope the new SL3 will have native ISO 64( like the M10) and not Iso 100 like the Q3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely some issues there, yes... If so, this is in contrast to the introduction of SL in 2015. Firstly, the SL came as a suprise for many/most of us. But more important, the body was fully operational - without glitches as far as I recall - from day one. Certainly my body was fully working at the introduction on 20 Oct 2015. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica doesn't mention ISO 50 being native ISO of the Q3. you can manually set the ISO to 50 but that doesn't mean it's the native ISO of the sensor. The M11 has a base ISO of 64, which is stated by Leica in the tech sheet. pretty sure they would mention that for the Q3 if it were the case. Base ISO for Leica Q3 is 100.

Certainly my body was fully working at the introduction on 20 Oct 2015. Oh God no! The original SL was busted beyond all recognition. For starters TTL flash just didn't fire if the shutter speed was between 1/60 and 1/200th second. But manual was OK except for two shutter speeds around 1/40. I had back and forth emails with Leica about it for weeks. The 24-90 would front focus at certain distances but not all. You couldn't zoom in on review images if you selected DNG only. I'd have to dig up the full list of bugs but there were many. Mr Kaufmann *leaked* a blurry photo of the camera sitting on his desk, about two months before the release.

Gordon Yes, when you mention it... There were problems with SL601 and SL24-90, sometimes you got black corners on the wide end. It was later corrected by FW update. I was not aware of the flash problems (I didn't use flash at that time...). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre68 Posted March 6, 2024 Share #1932 Posted March 6, 2024 This morning I had the chance to test the SL3 at the photo store in Lausanne. The body is really well dimensioned (less width and a fatter grip). The additional wheel on thee left hand side is quite handy. I also loved the tilting screen which felt really solid. The autofocus was definitely faster with all the lenses I tested it with (including the slow Summilux-SL. 50mm). I need to choose what I am going to sell to fund this purchase... 3 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Pierre, with the SL3 having less body width and the grip being fatter did you experience the infamous Sony knuckle sandwich with any of the lens barrels?

fotonutzz Posted March 6, 2024 Share #1936 Posted March 6, 2024 23 hours ago, Photoworks said: Why? The Fotos app link over BT works very well and has low battery consumption. A dedicated GPS can take a long time to link to satellites at a time (10-15min if you have not linked before ) and be tasking on the battery I don't have the same confidence when pairing my phone's GPS to the SL2.....It disconnects once it goes to sleep and reconnecting to the satellites is a hit or miss affair after the reconnection starts. Maybe it is an Android issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, why would Auto-ISO use 100 instead of 50 as the lowest ISO? Also, P2P measurement shows lowered PDR at ISO 50 vs ISO 100. I never bothered with ISO 50. Has anyone any experience with ISO 50 vs 100? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
