Leica has announced a new full-frame mirrorless camera today, the Leica SL3. A 60-megapixel camera with a redesigned interface. Many features of the Leica M11 are now also available for the L-mount.

Leica SL3 specifications

- 60.3-megapixel full-frame BSI CMOS sensor
- 5-axis in-body image stabilisation (5 stops)
- ISO sensitivity: 50 - 100,000 ISO
- Phase-detection autofocus
- 8K video
- 4 photos per second (at the highest quality)

The Leica SL3 can automatically focus on eyes, faces, bodies and objects.

With the new camera, you can choose to shoot at 60, 36 or 18 megapixels. In both RAW and JPEG. In all cases, the complete sensor is used, so you do not get a crop of your image at the lower resolution.

The new 60-megapixel sensor is a significant step up from the 47 megapixels offered by the SL2 (from 2019).

Price and availability

The Leica SL3 is available immediately from the Leica Store Amsterdam, Leica Store Lisse and Leica SL dealers in the Netherlands. The retail price is 6,800 euros.

Only intended for very special purposes? Is there even a monitor on which you can assess 60MPix shots?
