Want to celebrate a super-duper cam. Check out the Sony a6000 camera. It also has a 24 apsc mega-pixel sensor and costs 10X less. Besides, the Sony a6000 cam is much lighter and you truly can run faster with it around the race track--if u really want to do sprints. Of course, the Sony a6000 would also be better in a ten k or marathon race, much less stress and weight to lug around. 😎😎

Congrats Gajan, that is a well deserved honour! Was great to see your face around some of the Leica promo photos and video. The Leica OLED viewfinder has been interesting for me. I've preferred optical viewfinders for a long time, hated EVFs. The Fuji X100 hybrid optical viewfinder is ideal for me. I hated the SL3 viewfinder at first, but I started to get used to it, then I used the settings to turn down the viewfinder brightness and contrast, and wow, it was like looking at reality, I was connected to the reality in front of the lens with all the benefits of the digital display. I'm not sure I want to go back to optical now! I think in your pillars, you missed that this is a carefully thought out creative tool. The hardware, the simple menus, the dial and buttons, everything is designed to get out your way and allow you (and your team) to create. A lot of brands fail to do that. I love Nikon and Fuji, great cameras, but their menus suck and are a distraction. Hasselblad gets it right, everything is pared back to the minimum enabling my creativity. That might make for hard marketing messages, but i think it is important.

Never knew Indiana jones did photography. Amazing ❤

Come on! Say the truth! This is not good enough for 2025.. It may be the fastest Leica, but compare this to it´s competition from Canon, Nikon, and Sony the story is different.. And no, its not a piece of art, it´s a tool..

Lots of naysayers here. Interesting to see those outside the target group for this camera commenting. Minimalism at a price - not for everyone. But if I want a Leica. Well then I buy a Leica. Why buy something I do NOT want?

Selected to be global launch ambassador for the SL3-S and only 47k subs what are y'all doing this is a high quality channel SUBSCRIBE!

I am a big fan of Leica (owning a Leica CL and the original Leica SL 601), but I don't get why would you buy a new SL3-(S) when it is basically just a rebranded Panasonic S5II(x). The M and Q series fill in a niche and I see a point for the market there.

Congratulations indeed!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Its perfect the world's greatest fixed lens camera minus the 6000 price tag😂

watched with fam! we all loved it🙌🏼🙌🏼

Great review and this is a really interesting camera .. What’s the max iso that you would be comfortable shooting video on? I have the sl2 and sl2s for photos and a Sony fx3 for video.. the 12800 iso comes in handy. If this does it better I’m open to going full leica!

👍👍👍

These Leica cameras are just overpriced Sonys. I understand why someone would splurge on the Q or M because they have character, but this? Nah...

Dude so incredibly warranted. Your channel is a measured balanced view of creativity and passion. 🎉 so proud of you!

How I love the Leica hype (irony may occur), because it's a bit like the Tesla hype, and obviously there are some reviewers (perhaps not you) who always give a slightly better rating because of the name and here also the price. It is gradually becoming difficult for me to take the Leica hype seriously when there are cameras that can do more for less money with much better autofocus, etc., so how about taking us consumers a little more seriously in the future!

Not worth the price they are asking. If another brand made this, people would be laughing.

Congrats Gajan ! Always love watching your Leica content.

Congrats Gajan. A well deserved position. And thanks for the excellent review as always.

10:30 following you for years, yes: congratulations with big respect for this opportunity and great content. thank you gajan.

Nice. Panasonic released a new camera.

Watched as always until the bonus round :) Although you did a great job on this release video, I can’t wait until you have used this camera so much to create a long term review :). Those are quite unique on YT the way you do them. Until then I’ll wait for the upcoming videos and curious about your story telling about becoming a global ambassador :) Congrats and greatings from Germany 🇩🇪

What an amazing selection by the Leica team! Congratulations brother.

This Leica SL3-S, you pay a high price for it even though it's just a Lumix S5II with the Leica packaging and two extra options. We know that Leica works with Panasonic and only takes the technology from Lumix bodies, they did it with the SL2-S which was just a Lumix S1 with the Leica packaging. Here it's the same, inside it's a Lumix S5II and they just added the CF Express port and the screen above, otherwise everything else is the same. So paying 2800 euros more than the S5II to have two extra options and the Leica packaging is very expensive.

If you can afford a Leica, you can afford high capacity CFx-B. Adding an external SSD takes away from weather and dust resistance. It looks pretty. But its specs matches the S5II.

Félicitations pour le clip du Laica SL3-S pour Leica. Belles images.

Nice job

🦅

Congrats on becoming a Leica ambassador 🙌✨💛

Hey Gajan, after following your creative journey for years now, am looking forward to hearing about your next chapter, creatively. Those journalistic photos through India have been amazing

Congrats on being a Leica Ambassador! How’s the hdmi latency?

Congratulations to your team and to you! Very well deserved title of Global Ambassador for Leica

I would not buy this over a GFX 100s ii GF 100 ii ...nope

greetings is 12 bit external video open gate?

Feel the same way about my M11-P. Thank you Gajan!

Think the AF upgrades will be coming down to the SL3? Really like those high resolution images.

Congrats, Gajan! So well deserved.

Man’s cooking!!🔥

#LeicaBros 🔴 Salute! Upgrade time is here!

Huge congrats man, so well deserved!!

The goat has spoken.

Soooo it’s an S5IIX?

Fastest and ugliest Leica

@Gajan is the SL3S still capturing in BT2020 or is it now in 709?

Is it just me or does every Leica release feel like they're celebrating catching up to what everyone else did 2 years ago (Gajan makes it sound so cool tho)

Hallelujah!!!! Your channel has been a big part of my transformation, God is good.I had a $47,000 loan from the bank for my son's(Oscar) brain surgery.i am now debt free after I invested $8,000 and got my payment of $30,500 each month. God bless mrs mildred Evelyn rooney

Dude, so incredibly proud on your behalf! Absolutely amazing! congrats!!

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Bravo!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

does it do low frame rates with a wide shutter angle? like 12fps at 360degree shutter, or 5fps 360 degree shutter etc?

the sl2-s also has dual base ISO. They just didn't really advertise it as such.

It's a S5iix basically but great work on your end 👏🏿
