Leica has just announced its finest camera ever, the Leica SL3 – a powerhouse full-frame camera with a 60MP sensor, 8K 30p video, phase detect autofocus… and an app that downloads images to your phone in just seconds.

The Leica SL2 was a tough sell; while it was a beautiful camera, it had an uncomfortable amount in common with the Panasonic Lumix S1R – not least the sluggish contrast-based autofocus system. However, the new SL3 remedies both of those points by being technologically unique and introducing hybrid phase detect AF – which means its substance is now in line with its style.

You can read my Leica SL3 review for my full thoughts on the camera’s performance, but we’re looking at a real monster in terms of specs.

Its triple-resolution sensor offers 60.3MP, 36.4MP or 18.5MP shooting, to accommodate your workflow and output needs, with a Dual Base ISO that covers ISO50-100,000.
