The Leica SL3 is a full-frame mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera released by Leica Camera on 7 March 2024.[1] The camera uses the Leica L-Mount lenses range and is part of the L-Mount Alliance of camera bodies that Leica co-developed with Panasonic and Sigma.[1]
The SL3 has a 60.3-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor with 5-axis in-body image stabilization and is powered by the Leica Maestro IV processor.[2] It introduces a hybrid autofocus system combining phase-detection, contrast detection, and depth-map methods, with 315 AF areas and subject-detection modes.[2] The SL3 features dual card slots (SD UHS-II and CFexpress Type B), an IP54-rated weather-sealed metal body, and an OLED electronic viewfinder rated at 5.76 million dots (up to 120 fps).[2] Video recording includes 8K and C8K capture, with MOV/MP4 support including H.264/H.265 and ProRes options depending on settings and modes.[2]
The Leica SL3 succeeds the Leica SL2.[3]
