Abstract: I spent a few minutes with the new Leica SL mirrorless camera and the Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm f/2.8-4 lens today and came away with a couple of key first impressions.First off, the camera and lens is huge and heavy. I just can't believe how large this ca...
The Leica SL's photo and video quality are first-rate, its continuous shooting is fast with excellent autofocus in good light, and it has almost all the features you might want. Plus it has some very streamlined aspects to its design and operation

Leica cameras are expensive, no other way to say it. In the past I always felt comfortable suggesting that potential buyers could justify the cost because of the build-quality, pride of ownership, superlative tactile feedback and indisputably excellent op...
While the Leica SL is very solidly built and a superior imaging performer, it has a few downsides that will deter potential purchasers. The first is the price tag; few photo enthusiasts can afford to invest almost AU$18,000 in a camera plus one lens. For...
Taking on Canon and Nikon in the professional camera sector is a challenge that's proved too much for a long list of would-be challengers in the past (Minolta, Olympus, Contax, Pentax and Rollei among them).Leica has been here before too, particularly wit...
