Leica SL3 Mirrorless Full-Frame Camera (Body Only)

Get the best from your creative efforts with the Leica SL3 mirrorless full-frame camera. This item is just the body, and comes with no new lenses (even a starter lens). Why? Because the focus here is on the impressive cam itself. Leica is already lauded for its impressive commitment to creatives with high standards, and a mirrorless model like the Leica SL3 takes things a step further with the latest tech, like the CMOS full-frame sensor with Triple Resolution Technology. Switch between resolutions of 60, 36 or 18MP fast to suit your needs, and the result will be the detailed images you've been searching for. Meanwhile, the processor inside the Leica SL3 is ready to move fast to match your speed. Meet the Maestro IV processor—it moves quickly and has double the buffer memory of the SL2.

A Sturdy Build & Impressive Video Capabilities

The Leica SL3 mirrorless camera is ready to go on any adventure with you thanks to its impressive design. With an IP54 certification, it's both dust-resistant and spraywater-resistant. That means you can place it in your camera bag and take it with you on your next trip, whether you're heading to the nearest national park or across the globe. And while you're out taking landscape photos, don't forget that beautiful cameras like this can record videos. The Leica SL3 can even record in 4K, 5K and 8K. Use the new interface to intuitively swap between settings and have fun exploring the ways you can capture the world around you, all with the Leica SL3.

A New Way To Autofocus

Multiple new technologies have been worked into the Leica SL3's autofocus technology, including phase detection, depth mapping and contrast detection. When combined, the result is an unimaginable image: sharp lines, beautiful colors and visible depth, even in dim lighting. Plus, the camera can recognize subjects that move across the screen. If you're impressed with all that the Leica SL3 is, order yours online for quick shipping and you'll start using yours fast. Don't forget to pick out a new camera lens to go alongside it, though!

Features

• New Sensor
  At the core of the Leica SL3, you can find the BSI CMOS full -frame sensor with Triple Resolution Technology, which is safely protected in a solid all -metal body with elegant leather. To meet a variety of photographic requirements, the sensor records files in DNG or JPEG format with a resolution of either 60, 36 or 18 MP. In each case, the full sensor surface is used.
  Together with the dynamic range expanded to 15 f -stops and the impressive ISO range from 50 to 100,000, the SL3 delivers remarkably detailed images in outstanding quality – in all light conditions.
• New Autofocus System
  With phase detection (PDAF), depth mapping (Object Detection AF), and contrast recognition (Contrast Detection AF), the innovative autofocus system of the SL3 combines the strengths of three technologies to create razor-sharp pictures even in dim light. In addition, intelligent subject recognition supports the photography of dynamic scenes.
• Versatility
  The lens bayonet, which is based on the L - Mount standard developed by Leica, facilitates the use of outstanding lenses from all of the Leica camera systems.
  Additionally, it is compatible with a diverse array of ultra -wide to super -telephoto zoom lenses offered by L -Mount alliance partners. Therefore, the lens bayonet guarantees extensive system compatibility for the Leica SL3. Specifically, the exceptional potential of the renowned Leica M -Lenses is fully harnessed, thanks to the unique design of the image sensor and an external light sensor.
  The integrated in -body image stabilization further broadens the scope of application for M-Lenses.
• Screens
  The EyeRes® viewfinder of the Leica SL3 is equipped with an elaborately manufactured optical system made of glass lenses. It always shows the subject crystal clear with up to 120 frames per second and a resolution of 5.76 million pixels.
  Another new feature is the tiltable 3 -inch high -res touchscreen with a high -quality tilting mechanism. Even more creative possibilities can be achieved thanks to its additional viewing angles.
• Video
  Videos are recorded in a resolution of up to 8K, supported by efficient codecs such as H.265 and ProRes by Apple. A dedicated time code interface allows for professional image and sound synchronization on set.
  Throughout this process, the new Maestro -IV processor with L² technology easily handles the vast amounts of data, resulting in pictures with magnificent color rendering as well as excellent noise performance. Additionally, the Leica SL3 is able to continuously record video, as long as adequate power and file space is available.
• UI Design
  Another highlight is the new user interface of the Leica SL3. As a result, the grip, button layout, and overall camera design have been refined to further promote intuitive handling.
  The updated, streamlined icon and menu design offer a clear structure, facilitating even easier navigation. The distinct separation of photo and video modes proves especially beneficial as it is aided by a specific color code for differentiation: red for photo mode and yellow for video mode.
  When photographing and filming, the SL3’s user interface aligns itself in landscape or portrait format, depending on the camera position.
• Durability & Ergonomics
  Thanks to the convenient handling, improved ergonomics, robust design, and IP54 certification, photographers can focus on capturing the shot in any weather and environment. The camera’s operating conditions are from -10 to 40 degrees Celsius (14 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit).
  At the same time, the new SL3 is noticeably lighter and more compact than its predecessors and is even more comfortable to use.
• Interfaces
  The camera’s new interface and improved connectivity ensure a seamless professional workflow. CFexpress type B and UHS -II SD slots are available, a USB -C port for high - speed data transmission, tethering, and power supply as well as a full -size HDMI 2.1 output for external monitors or recording equipment.
  Additionally, Bluetooth and Wi -Fi with MIMO technology ensure a stable and fast connection to the Leica FOTOS app. As a certified Apple “Made for iPhone® and iPad®” accessory, the Leica SL3, together with the included USB -C cable, enables a direct connection to Apple products.
