Leica SL with Leica SL2 Overview


Let's compare SL2 with SL. Both cameras produced Leica. These models are included in the Pro Mirrorless cameras. Leica SL2 was released in 2019, and Leica SL in 2015. SL2 is newer, which is a plus. SL 4 years older. 4 years, this is a pretty big age difference.
The sensor resolution of SL2 is greater than that of SL. The difference of 23 MP is quite a lot. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the first camera (SL2), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. SL2 has image stabilization(Sensor-shift), SL doesn’t, it is a big minus. Both cameras feature a 3-inch fixed screen.
Both cameras have a electronic viewfinder. Viewfinder SL2 has a higher resolution of 5760k dots, SL has a resolution of 4400k dots. Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode or continuous high speed mode, is a shooting mode in still cameras. Leica SL2 has 11.0 fps continuous shooting. Leica SL2 has 11.0 fps continuous shooting.
