Leica SL3-S

Pros: The best ergonomics ever experienced in a machine body; excellent image quality; good speed, responsive and accurate autofocus; excellent high ISO performance; Excellent iPhone integration

Cons: The absence of dedicated presets in Lightroom does not help to achieve the "Leica effect" even in raw files

Opinion: The ergonomics of the latest SL bodies are the best I've ever experienced in a camera body. Each dial or button is customizable, the screen and viewfinder are excellent, the management software is super intuitive and very simple. I also have an SL3 camera body and the SL3-S has a much faster and more accurate autofocus, and allows you to use faster and better modulated bursts. The performance at high ISO is excellent, certainly better than the SL3, but the SL3 retains a better dynamic range in the highlights. The SL lenses are excellent: I take concert photographs and the backlit rendering and the ability to preserve details in the most saturated and extreme color situations is excellent (also thanks to the sensor, of course). Leica presets for jpegs opened up a world for me. Leica jpegs are very good and the extraordinary ability to integrate with the iPhone makes it possible to enjoy high quality photos and great personality instantly. It's a real shame, however, that it is not possible to obtain raw that, through special presets in lightroom, can emulate the jpegs that the camera makes. If it were possible to have a raw with the same settings as Leica jpegs, it would be a real game-changer.
