As a wildlife photographer, I am curious about how this camera will perform with the Sigma 300-600mm f/4 lens. I like the SL UI, and the Sigma zoom is a compelling option for safaris and short walks. At this point, the zoom was introduced in the L-Mount without a real wildlife photography capable body. Of course, one could buy a Sony A1 (i or ii), but you are limited to 10 fps w/ the Sony - Sigma relationship.
The slow(ish) read speed of the SL3-P sensor would be a deal breaker unless one specialized in birds in flight. Most non-flight wildlife photos are not contingent on the fastest sensor, though I will freely admit that it is a pleasure to shoot wildlife with the Nikon Z9 because of the black-out free viewing.
I'm sure someone will pair these two things together. I'd be more than happy to let Leica invite me to use their new camera for wildlife photography... but that's not going to happen
