May will be the 10 year anniversary of starting the channel! Crazy to think about. Thank you for being here with me all this time!

Great review. Down to earth and very easy to understand. Thanks Matt. And prayers for a speedy and full recovery for Molly. Be Blessed. Doc Chaps

Great video. Godspeed to Molly on her recovery.

This is, in my opinion, one of the best introduction to the SL3 so far! Really good!

Speedy recovery to Molly! Great video as always.

Very informative, credible and sympathetic video. Thank you!

Sending good vibes your way Matt. My wife also recently had surgery, so I am working and taking care of her and my kids. I think I discovered a new level of tiredness. I hope Molly’s recovery continues to go well.

Nice review, Matt. Thank you. No doubt Leica cameras & lenses offer exceptional quality. I am glad to see that Leica is improving autofocus capabilities in each generation of the SL lineup. Best wishes to you & your family.😊

Man, great video. You explained everything very well

This camera sounds super incredible!

Great review. Thanks!

Great work as always, too bad you didnt get to do the Wetzlar trip. All the best to you all for Molly's recovery!

Hi I wish to thank you very much, great job. I will have to want a long time for this one.

My bank account hates this video so much. What an absolutely brilliant look into the new system. Thank you Matt.

Excellent 👍

But technically you didn’t say you were not getting the SL3. 😂 Also eventually there will be the SL3-S down the line so there is that, too.

I highly doubt an SL3-S, the resolution of the SL3 is already variable@@garactacle

Looks cool

Love it. Except for the change to the On/Off switch.

I love how you hold it in a way to give the impression that this tank seems light 😅

The new added dial is so essential. THis would allow me to change ISO much quickly than before. Also the APO SL lenses are amazing, cause I have the 50 APO SL. I adore that lens so so much. Definitely thinking of switching to the new SL3 now for the better AF

Matt, first speedy complete recovery to Molly. I think it was about 10 years ago that I bought a Mamiya 150mm medium format lens from you that I still have. This Leica SL3 is making me want to sell some old Mamiya and Leica film gear to purchase a new digital camera. 🙂

The 90-apo is such an amazing lens. My favourite among the sl-lenses.

Love the APO 90mm SL, only down side is you have to stop down an extra stop to get the same depth of field you would expect in any other 85mm-90mm. I find in natural light for some group shots I sometimes have to just switch to the 50mm and get closer to get depth of field when needed instead of going to 5.6 or 8 just to get three faces in focus because the APO lenses are so much thinner DOF and contrast drop-off at every stop.

Nice one

Thanks Joe!

Hey Matt, I have been following you for years but inconsistently based upon my photography trends. First, I am glad to hear that Molly is doing well. Next, I bought an elephant of a lens from you about 10 years ago - Mamiya 180 medium format lens if I remember correctly. I haven't been using it. If you regret selling it, I will be happy to pay return shipping (assuming I can find the lens - yikes) I am in a place now where I would be happy to return it to you and consider it was a lease if you want it back. Also, I am planning to buy a Leica SL3 and I greatly appreciate your advice because of my history of following you for 10+ years. Thanks and take care Matt.

Maybe the lens was 150MM. I don't remember, but I think (hope) I can find it if you want it back.

BOOM

The extended buffer is really helpful in a 4 fps camera.

I WANT ONE!!

If you are going to pay that much money , just buy GFX100 II and enjoy medium format power. Gives you much better dynamic range , resolution , ibis evf and lcd design. Aand medium format video ;)

Have you tried the M lens with SL3? Is the any improvement of manual focus assistance system? Nice presenting as always. Thank you.

Thanks for the great video. Not sure if you mentioned this but what is the small dial attached to the side of the viewfinder for?

Matt without the hat looks like Khabib

Beautiful introduction of the new SL Matt. I will stay with the SL2-S. Design is a good portion of the Leica charm for me at least and I find the SL2 and SL2-S the perfect blend of ergonomics and classic Bauhaus ästhetics. With the new SL being less wider but also thicker it looks to bulky for me and now is to much of a resemblance of the big fat Panasonic cameras which are basically from the same camera family. The better specs will not outbalance an uglier camera since we are talking Leica here. But the similar price point to the SL2 will be fair game for newcomers to choose between the beauty and the (spec)beast ....and maybe Im pretty alone with this opinion :).

The flash sync port also does time code sync or did you mispeak?

Still not sure if this is right for me. Really happy with the sl2. The screen definitely benefits my shooting style, however it’s quite a premium for that alone. I’m trying to justify it but don’t think I can. The af performance on my ZF is insane which I was hoping to consolidate by selling the sl2 and ZF. But still think it’s lagging comparatively. Seems a bit slow. Love the aesthetic, screen, new buttons, and higher res, but no multi shot, limited video specs (prores) and just okay af is making me think I’ll stick with sl2 for a while.

I have the SL2s and I'm definitely not upgrading to this model. Perhaps the next one in the line. I shoot it with M lenses so the autofocus features play no role for me. Now if the SL2 drops in price significantly in due time, may pick up the silver SL2 instead.

good job matt, you missed a few new options!

I have been shooting with a SL2-S for the past 2 years and I love it. The only issue I have with this camera is really how easily it scratches. Do you know if the sl3 body is a bit better on that end ?

@mattdayphoto

The body appears to have the same finish and everything, so I would imagine you would have the same results in terms of scratches.

Anodized aluminum unfortunately scratches easily.

Can the SL3 be set up so that the shutter closes when the camera turns off, protecting the sensor? My M10-R does this, but my SL2 does not, so I have had problems with dust on the sensor when changing lenses in the field.

Does the SL3 have multi shot resolution ?

Great to see you Godfather!

I saw from petapixel that prores is only 1080? Is that true?

Unfortunately, you lose flash sync (250 down to 200) and 1/2 stop of IBIS from 5.5 to 5

No tilting of display in portrait mode? That´s a pity…

While very solid, Hasselblad does the strongest tiltable displays tho

What's this thing at the top right corner in the front? Looks like a phone camera module lol

Fire me up!

Does this mean that I will finally be able to buy the SL 601?

@@mattdayphotomine has been listed for a while in that group- but think I’m gonna take it down and keep running it for a while. I think sl2 prices will come up again now that the curtain has been pulled back on the sl3. My ZF pairs so well with the m mount glass and eye tracking with manual glass. Honestly it’s pretty hard to beat at the moment- especially for only $2000

@aobane841

@@D.TriderAgreed. I don't think the upgrades are significant for most to jump at this immediately. If I had to guess, many are probably waiting to see if the prices on the SL2 drop at Leica retailers and at B&H so they can either get into the SL system or pick up a back up.

Hope I get invited one year to Wetzlar.
