Leica's SL3-S mirrorless cameras boasts 6K ProRes video and faster autofocus

Leica has unveiled its latest full-frame mirrorless camera, the 24-megapixel SL3-S with improved performance and video compared to its predecessor, the SL2-S.

Luckily, the rear touchscreen is large and very high in resolution (5.7-million dots), though it only tilts and doesn't fully articulate which is unfortunate for a hybrid camera. That allows burst shooting at up to 30fps with continuous phase-detect AF, with fairly long capture times thanks to support for fast CFexpress Type B memory cards. The only big advantage over the S5 IIx is the addition of a CFexpress card slot, but otherwise the two models have similar specs — so whether that red Leica dot is worth an extra $3,100 is up to buyers to decide.
