I would also like to give my first impression of the Leica SL 3. I had the opportunity to test the camera in advance.

Thank you for sharing some interesting thoughts and eye-catching images. You have an SL3 and some extraordinary watches. Life is good.

Thank you for a very nice review. How would you rate the IBIS between the SL2 and SL3? On paper, the IBIS in the SL3 is 5 EV and in SL2 6 EV.

Where did you read 6 stops of stabilization for SL2? Leica's technical data sheets list up to 5.5 aperture levels.

Also, note it says "up to" (as all manufacturers do).

I was very happy with the IBIS. I would say the same or a little bit better than the SL2-S

Thanks Norbert, great pictures.

Very nice review. I totally agree that the wheel on the left side is not needed and it doesn’t appeal to me aesthetically, in addition to the risk of changing it by accident. On the SL2-S, I have assigned ISO to the lower of the two function buttons on the front that I can access with the middle finger of the right hand and then change ISO with the thumb on rear wheel while looking through the  viewfinder.

Thank you for the review. Good to see side by side comparison. I wonder how much improved is the sound having the mics more front positioned compared to SL2.
