Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Exactly Design is one out of many factors; and the back view of the SL2 is nice and clean. Good. But if design triumph functionality, I opt for the latter. For SLx, this means to have the 'Play' button accessible for the right hand, so that it can be operated when viewing the EVF (or without moving the left hand from the lens; think of how to hold the SL90-280 without support from the left hand). So I am happy to see buttons on the right side... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am happy to see buttons on the right side... Perhaps they can in next FW update make it possible that we can ad “Play“ into one of the FN buttons. There are two on the top, one on the right side near EVF, two on the front, rear thumb wheal and also joystick. Also if we move “Play“ to the other FN button then would be nice that we can assign some other function to the “Play“ button that is now free. This is just a workaround for the SL2 and SL2-S cameras but still. Just an idea... Nikola 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simone_DF Posted March 5, 2024 Share #1903 Posted March 5, 2024 It’s a shame Leica kept that horrendous and obnoxious chunky white font on the front. Another good reason to wait for a -S variant 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll point out you can have ISO as the click function for the rear dial (instead of mode selection), Thank you, I’ve never tried that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensor wise, it’s a step back from my SL2-S. The 61mp sensor readout speed is a dealkiller for me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another good reason to wait for a -S variant Easily fixed with a small piece of black camera tape, or electrical tape. I did that with my wedding rig, because it can be distracting to subjects, and mostly because guests would sometimes interrupt me to ask about Leicas! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that would be my last resort, and I do that with the red dot actually. But the -S variant comes with a default black font, which is fine as it's not distracting.

mipo Posted March 5, 2024 Share #1915 Posted March 5, 2024 Looks tempting however getting SL2S just last year its just perfect for my needs. I am no proffessional and I know that as lazy as I am new camera will not make me do more. Well, maybe it could for the first month or so. But then its back to normal. So I just need to enjoy more what I already have. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, how long , for pre orders, will they ship ? Ie, for peeps that pre order a M11 or a Sl2 or whatever, how long was the shipping vs launch date ? According to my sales rep, since I made payment for the first batch of SL3(stock is already here), I shd be able to collect it on either 8 or 9 Mar. For those who are not on the first batch, they may have to wait 1-3 months as per the SL2 or Q3. Edited March 5, 2024 by fotonutzz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotonutzz Posted March 5, 2024 Share #1918 Posted March 5, 2024 Actually, rather than to have the top dial on the left, I'd rather have Leica bring back the GPS just like the original SL...... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
