I read this thread with interest, thanks. For the last four years I have been a happy A7Rx photographer regularly visiting the Sony thread. I came from decades with Leica in search of better AF, IBIS etc. But I still get the itch some times to come back to Leica again. Except this time the X2D2 has arrived. I am wondering if that camera with, say, a 38V or the 35-100 zoom might be a better choice than an SL3 with 28mm and 24-70, offering better IQ and usability at similar entry price, weight and form factor. Am I delusional?
You can be sure that the SL4 will cut both weight and size.
Just out of curiosity, why do you believe so?
My personal perspective as someone that doesn’t need lenses outside of the range that the X2D2 offers and chose the Sony A7RV and A7CR over the SL3, I think that both the autofocus and size are pluses for the Sony. Price/value and absolute IQ are a plus for the Hasselblad, but with a slight increase in overall size/weight vs the SL series. I think that competition will push the SL series in this direction. Again, this is from someone that chose the Sony system when A/B with the SL on one end and chose Hasselblad on the other.. In other words this comes from someone that considered these factors prior to purchasing competing products.
