Leica is rumored to announce a new SL camera based on the Panasonic S1RII (44.3MP). The new SL model will be positioned between the current Leica SL3 (60MP) and the Leica SL2-S (24MP). Here is what we know so far:
- 44.3MP sensor (based on the Panasinic S1RII)
- Improved AF (better than the SL3-S)
- Video capabilities could be lower than those of other SL3 models
- Rumored to be announced around May 2026
The Panasonic S1RII was announced in February 2025 – here is the camera’s coverage at PhotoRumors:
4천만화소대라면 새로운 센서의 도입인데..
SL 과 SL-S 사이에 SL-R 이런식으로 라인업이 추가되는 걸까요?
일단 6천만과 2천4백만 사이에 포지셔닝할 것으로 보이고
AF 개선에 영상기능은 SL3 보다는 낮게 포지셔닝한다는데.. 일단 기다려 봅니다..ㅎㅎ
