hdmesa Posted January 21 Share #141 Posted January 21 Advertisement (gone after registration) Having owned the SL3 but now am back with an SL2-S, I don’t think we need to fret much about DR. DR differences between new models are minimal with near zero practical effect on the end result. The only impactful DR differences that remain are between stacked and non-stacked sensors, and even then, it’s not a huge difference. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Hi hdmesa, Take a look here Leica SL3-S: Fastest Camera in Leica’s 100-Year Camera History. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted January 21 Share #142 Posted January 21 ?? The S5Ii has exactly the same multishot as the SL3S. It is on the lefthand wheel. 1 hour ago, SrMi said: Yes. I do not understand why there are not more cameras that allow in-camera frame averaging. Sadly, manufacturers are removing it with model updates (see S5II).

Jaap, you are for sure 100% correct! Anyway Pana S9 can do 200mm out of hand handheld Multishot while SL3-S cannot right now! We are super sure, Leica did forget to turn on IS at current firmware...lol..I am so optimistic for new firmware release! I promise some folks at Wetzlar are bizzy right now Welcome, dear visitor!

jaapv Posted January 22 Share #147 Posted January 22 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ah. Learn something new every day. Not a technique that I would find much use for. TBH the same goes for the high resolution feature. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpauliks Posted January 22 Share #148 Posted January 22 (edited) vor 7 Stunden schrieb SrMi: Since the multishot goes only to ISO 3200, I simulate ISO 12500 by under-exposing two stops and lifting two stops in the post (SL3 is on the left, SL3-S tripod multishot is on the right). The comparison is more of an academic nature, as I believe tripod multishot will be used at base ISO mostly (only?). Welcome, dear visitor!

Very good to know Deonvnzl, and that there is a hotter city on earth, other than Australia. I am sure it will be okay too besides what the Leica advice says about operating temperatures. I am sure the camera has been in colder places than -10 C Quote The Leica SL3 mirrorless camera has an operating temperature range of -10°C to +40°C, or 14°F to 104°F. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Reporter SL2S, very nice, everyone comments on it. I was hoping the SL3S would retire it, so it can look pristine. If the 3’S comes out and I’m sure it will, I thoroughly recommend it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current SL3-S has same like SL3: Operating conditions -10 °C to +40 °C Think the "Reporter Edition" is relevant in terms of preserving value over the years and has a nice look green / kevlar.... But the technical specifications are the same, nothing more than other painting, no extra resistance to temperature.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPFM Posted January 22 Share #154 Posted January 22 Having carefully read all the comments regarding the SL3s i stay to my opinion. As a second body (to my SL3) welcome, but I have to sell the SL2 for it - and that´s the problem. I don´t want to give it to waste and it´s Leica´s behavior that the prices are down like usual at asian products (Nikon, Canon ....) that are announced together with a first discount....😬 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried once to figure it out, but was not really successful on this. I never had SL2-S Reporter. Loving the Titanium version of it though! And you are right, used prices of Reporter are still high! Someone wrote that SL3-S is outstanding sealed again. Here in Berlin (opposite to Perth on this small planet lol) I am fine with it as is For sure Leica has some safety on published specs as well. There is also a special battery to my knowledge, that you can keep in pockets for super low temperature! Anyway prob more intended for video.

Photoworks Posted January 22 Share #156 Posted January 22 the little bit of green color makes it special, nothing else. Kevlar peels at the edges over time. the -10c temperature and conservative, Leica did test at -30c and -40c and sent photographers to pole with it. the camera still worked as intended. Just make sure you wear gloves if you don't want to be one with your camera. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPFM Posted January 22 Share #157 Posted January 22 Had a SL2s in addition to the SL2 - believing it would be a good choice for wildlife - and sold it. So I went to Spitzbergen / Svalbard in 2023 with one body (SL2) and a Q3. The SL2 failed (system error, shutter defect) at the first shot - so all of the work was done by the Q3 and wide angle (missed some nice shots like polar fox)..... Never again with one body! I got a SL3 and kept the SL2 - this year to go to Greenland. Hopefully with the SL3 and a SL3s for wildlife - but if I fail to sell it, the work will be done by SL3/ SL2. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
