Leica expands its range of full-frame mirrorless cameras with the new SL3-P, a model designed for those seeking a perfect balance between image quality, performance, and professional video functions. The newcomer is positioned between the 60-megapixel SL3 and the 24-megapixel SL3-S, offering a versatile solution intended for both photographers and videomakers.
The heart of the camera is a new back-illuminated CMOS sensor 44 megapixel, capable of offering a wide dynamic range and a burst up to 40 frames per second with continuous autofocus. For those needing even higher resolution, a Multishot mode is also available, generating images up to 176 megapixels.
Among the main new features is the hybrid autofocus system with 819 focus points, which integrates phase detection, contrast, and subject recognition, ensuring greater precision and speed even in the most dynamic situations.
Great attention also to the video sector. The SL3-P records in 8.1K Open Gate, supports 8K recording up to 30 fps, 5.9K at 60 fps, and 4K slow motion up to 120 fps. It also features Apple ProRes codec and new color profiles dedicated to professional workflows.
The camera body retains the essential design typical of the “P” versions, eliminating the classic red Leica dot for a more discreet look. The magnesium-aluminum alloy construction with IP54 certification ensures robustness and protection from dust and splashes, while the high-resolution electronic viewfinder and the tilting display complete the high-end features.
With the SL3-P, Leica offers a mirrorless camera for professionals who want a single tool capable of handling high-resolution photography, reportage, sports, and video production, likely representing the most complete model ever produced by the German company for the SL system.
