Leica SL2-S Mirrorless Camera Body Summary

The Leica SL2-S body is the new full frame mirrorless L mount camera designed with impressive hybrid photo and video capabilities. It is the lower resolution sibling of the popular 47MP  and comes with a brand new 24MP CMOS-BIS sensor and two separate modes for photo and video. This newer Leica model offers the best of both stills and video worlds, from an all-metal, weather sealed durable body. The camera capitalises on Leica’s signature lookplus compatibility with a growing range of excellent quality full frame  from the Sigma, Lumix and Leica alliance.

Regardless of lighting conditions the Leica keeps up due to an impressive ISO capability along with in-body stabilisation. Photographers also gain the first camera ever to capture Adobe-DNG files at impressive burst speeds of 25fps in electronic shutter mode or 9fps in mechanical shutter thanks to the quick Maestro III processor. This allows the SL2-S to be perfectly suited for photography and videography across multiple genres, from portraits and street photography to landscapes and night photography as well as sports and wildlife.
