According to LR, the long rumored Leica SL3 is scheduled to be officially announced on March 21-22,2024.
Below are the rumored specifications of Leica SL3
- uses the same 60-megapixel sensor as Leica M11 or Leica Q3
- New body slightly smaller than Leica SL2
- 6.5 stops image stabilization
- Phase detection AF
- 9fps continuous shooting
- Supports cropped 8K/30p and 4K/60p + full-frame & S35 C4K/30p
- The camera is already being tested in the field
- Registered Type 5404 model
If this is true, it will be announced after CP+. We don’t know which rumor is correct, but in any case, there is no doubt that Leica SL3 will appear soon.
Also, Panasonic’s S1R II is rumored to be based on the SL3 and will be released a few months after the SL3, so if Leica SL3 is announced in March, Panasonic S1R II will likely be released in early summer at the latest.
