Leica introduces the successor to its Leica TL system camera. The new model is called the Leica TL2 and has a 24-megapixel sensor instead of a 16-megapixel sensor. The image sensor is still APS-C size.
Alongside the new higher-resolution image sensor, the mirrorless Leica TL2 offers several other improvements. According to Leica, the contrast autofocus is three times faster, and users can choose from a total of 49 autofocus points.
The camera's design has remained largely unchanged, and the 3.7-inch touchscreen is also the same.

The image sensor is not the only component with a higher resolution. Videos can be recorded in 4K resolution at up to thirty frames per second.
Photos can also be shot at 60 frames per second, but then at a maximum resolution of 1080p. The function button next to the shutter can be set to a number of specific functions.
The Leica TL2 is the successor to the Leica TL. The latter was introduced in November 2016 as the successor to the Leica T.
The camera's interface should be about eight times faster than that of the Leica TL. The pop-up flash has disappeared. The camera now supports separate flash units and other accessories.
The Visoflex accessory is one example. It is an electronic viewfinder that allows users to take photos from more extreme angles using a tilt and swivel mechanism.

Price and availability
The Leica TL2 has a recommended retail price of 1,950 euros, excluding the lens. Given its price, the Leica TL2 will have to compete with other high-end system cameras, such as the Sony A6300 and the Fujifilm X-T2.
The camera can be ordered immediately from, among others, CameraNU.
Unfortunately, the body alone is not enough. The standard zoom lens for the Leica TL mount, the Leica Vario-Elmar T 18-56mm with an aperture of f/3.5-5.6, costs more than 1,500 euros.
