This shows that they are so dependent on Panasonic at this point. Its a Lumix S1r with a red dot. They are going to have to innovate soon to be relevant.

SL vs. SL2 comparison specs listed at Red Dot Forum.

Gordon will be happy: LENR can be disabled (apparently).

I know this is an S1R in Leica clothing and I'm not sure I will buy one but I would just to get less buttons (and the same as my M10).

Yes, there is a huge price difference but once you are in the Leica world, you tend to buy what you like as long as you can afford it.

Well, that Leica clothing includes micro lenses designed for rangefinder lenses. So there's that.

That's a minor benefit IMO for > $3K difference. For this money I can easily have any MLC other than from Leica converted with KolariVision to make them work very well with rangefinder lenses and will still have lots of money left to purchase other stuff.

To be now competitive with other companies, Leica needs to rethink their pricing strategy or suffer the consequences.

It's actually a major benefit as Leica will also have in-body profiles for those M lenses. For someone who has a few (or many) M lenses that is a big deal.

Leica business is booming in a very difficult market.
It seems they do not need your advice.

I hope in addition to micro lenses, it also has thinner sensor cover glass. The micro lenses, thinner sensor cover glass, and built-in corrections could make this camera clearly the best non-rangefinder for Leica M glass and that would be important to a number of people. In addition, it would then be the camera that works the best with Leica M glass and also works with L mount glass like the new Leica SL summicron lenses. One could imagine a kit for this camera that included the Leica M 21 SEM (or the WATE if you wanted wider), the Leica SL 35 f/2 APO, the Leica SL 50 f/2 APO, and the Leica SL 90 f/2 APO. That is a ridiculously expensive, but pretty stellar kit and quite reasonable in size. If you needed a fast wide lens you could add the a Leica M summilux 21, 24, or 28. If you needed longer focal lengths you could add L glass. I can see this as a very versatile camera that can take a lot of different and interesting lenses some of which other cameras could not use or not use well.

Now if you need top drawer AF, then this camera probably won't be for you, but I think it will have a following and for those people it will bring some things that other cameras cannot.

Not sure if this is a big benefit - other opinions might differ, but I never even used them when they existed for my old Canon DSLR.

That's exactly what FM forum participants told me in 2013 when I criticized Canon's path to move forward by not competing in the sensor field with other brands like Nikon and later Sony. That was at the most profitable time for Canon camera division. See where they are now.

I wonder if it does line skipping too for 4k 60p in full frame mode. with no 1.09 crop like s1r too

Just looking for 4k 60p full frame with no crop (which no camera does well yet that I know of. Not sure how s1r's 4k 60p FF is)

Actually, it offers more than I thought. It is also cheaper at 45M compare to more expensive 24M SL at introduction. High resolution mode will be available, IBIS and Leica ergo and assume it play M lens better are all good selling point. And take S glass.

I expect it will sell well at Leica standard.

It may just be an S1R in Leica clothing, but it's the most competitive camera Leica's marketed in ages.

Yeah, and they are cutting and cutting jobs in their camera sector and closing facilities. Far behind in sensor tech versus the competition since 2012. Increased market share still due to entry level camera sales which will soon be no longer available with increasing cellphone camera technology. Nothing else really good in the pipeline even they at least now tried with FF MLC 1st gen. Not really a great market disruptor either.
