🔴 Hands on the NEW Leica SL3 & Channel Updates

[@sc1]

Great interview, and helpful. It almost tempted me towards the SL3, but did not quite seal the deal. I still think the SL lenses are way too big. And the SL3 body is not needed on top, if I already have an M and a Q. I’m hoping to see what an SL3-S will look like.

Thank you for the feedback! It is noticeably smaller than the SL2 body, but you ate right. Those lenses are quite big. Another option is to adapt M glass on the SL and benefit from IBIS and that great EVF. Cheers!

I really enjoy your videos also. You « sold »me on the 28mm Elmarit that I recently ordered :-)

Yes! Great to see you back man, super happy to see your face. Podcast is killing it! Loved the interview with Michael. Really cool that the M240 body is the same size - grip

Thanks, my friend! I always had a "face for radio" anyway haha. Collab soon! 🤘🏻

Nice to see the new Leica being introduced to us by a real enthusiast in Fred. Be good now to see your results from use out and about.

Thanks for the feedback! I will share my in-depth insights as soon as I can get my hands on the camera.

thanks for this! Does it crop external video such as BRAW?

[@FredRanger]

They did not specifically mention support for shooting video in Blackmagic RAW (BRAW) format in the information available. It is highlighted for its ability to record internally in DCI 8K at 8192 x 4320 at 30 fps and DCI 4K at up to 60p up to ProRes 24 bit. More precisely: MP4 h.265 AAC 48 kHz/16 bit h.264 AAC 48 kHz/16 bit MOV: h.265 LPCM 48 kHz/24 bit h.264 LPCM 48 kHz/24 bit ProRes LPCM 48 kHz/24 bit

@@FredRanger ProRes is only HD correct?

[@FredRanger]

No, it can shoot in Apple ProRes format in 4K also. It supports recording in 4K DCI (4096 x 2160) ProRes internally
