Aside the beautiful design, the UI is simply the best.

I absolutely love the way Leica has handled the UI of this camera, I hope some of it can be ported over to the Q3 in firmware eventually, seeing as how it uses the same processor and sensor.

Yes we asked about that, and they said it’s not off the table, so the more we say it, the more likely it will convince them to do it.

How about giving the SL2/-S the UI? 😭

📸 The stuff that DREAMS are made of & if you don’t have a dream how can you make it come true. Like a good ROLEX watch a LEICA SL3 is a good investment and wonderful camera to have as a family heirloom to hand down to the next generation of photographer filmmaker. I now know what I am working towards and saving up for.✌🏻😎🇦🇺

Very true. And they didn’t raise the price over the SL2, which is great.

Great video Take! 😊

Nice informative unboxing video, I’ll stick with my SL2 for now as it does everything I need it to do. Cheers!

thank you for sharing the unboxing. Can you please let the know if they have add a multiple exposure on the same frame to sl3? Many thanks in advance, Ali

Thanks! The TL2 and S5ii have tsken over my camera bag -- Fuji needs to release the X-Pro4! That with the Voigtlaender APO-Ultron, the VX50 Nokton and the VX27 f/2 pancake would out-M the M, bigtime.

Love teh 24mm and 65mm; it always seemed to me that the I-series was designed to be taken up by Leica. I saw you at 7:07 on Kai's clip!

The left knob can be set to ISO selection right?

Thank you for the excellent comparison video. It seems the SL design is getting more "noisy" with steps and lines and not as sleek as the "less is more" approach as it used to be. And they still kept that rubber for the ports...The issue I have the most is that the LCD is sticking out like it is with the Q3. This is really bothering me to the point of passing on the purchase. I wish they could learn a thing or two from Fujifilm X100V or VI.

so its the full size q3?

Maybe you have answered this but why you got two watches?

@bigheadtaco

2 ай бұрын

I wear two for various reasons, mostly to communicate something to those who are discerning. Both watches are from a German watch brand called Kobold Expedition Tools. Since I was doing an unboxing of a German camera manufacturer, I thought I’d wear two watches from a German watch manufacturer.

I’ve been more out of things worse than I thought because I didn’t even know this was even announced!!! 😮

Can you please review M11monochrom

Can´t handle the brick on the back. This alone, can set me apart of buying one of these, as I was really eager to get one, to pair with the M10R.

@bigheadtaco

Understood. It’s not for everyone. It does feel good in the hands though. SL3 is smaller and lighter, but still it’s a brick in construction, IP54, but of course you pay for it.

​@@bigheadtacosure, I truly believe so, should feel amazingly well built, and that's a must for me. The screen though, I think they should tried to make it more flushed to the body. Anyway, thanks for the reply.

Leica can do it because low production. For high production-it’s not desirable. We lost the privelage after what we have done to this planet and the future of human civilization 😢

Probably….

Unfortunately Leica SL still needs all kind of improvement in ergonomics to make camera usable. The On off button is kind of bogus thing and on a wrong side of the body ….you have to use both hands to switch on camera, it is also unclear what Leica chassing with two top bottons ? It is not classic layout camera and also not modern one but something in between.

That lcd screen design is a joke
