Leica SL2-S with Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III Overview


Let's compare Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III with Leica SL2-S. These models are included in the Pro Mirrorless cameras. Both of these models were released in 2020. This means that differences will go a long way. Let's take a closer look.
The sensor resolution of OM-D E-M1 Mark III is greater than that of SL2-S. However, the difference of 4 MP is not very significant. 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 (OM-D E-M1 Mark III), 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. At Leica SL2-S, the maximum ISO is greater by 24400. Both cameras have 5-axis Sensor-shift image stabilization. Both cameras feature a 3-inch articulated screen.
Both cameras have a electronic viewfinder. Viewfinder SL2-S has a higher resolution of 5760k dots, OM-D E-M1 Mark III has a resolution of 2360k dots. Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode or continuous high speed mode, is a shooting mode in still cameras. Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III has 20.0 fps continuous shooting. Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III has 20.0 fps continuous shooting.
