NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - October 20, 2015) - B&H is pleased and honored to share the news of the Leica SL (Typ 601) Mirrorless Digital Camera and the Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm f/2.8-4 ASPH. Lens.
The Leica SL is sure to make a big splash in the sea of mirrorless cameras, thanks to an impressive list of specs that will leave the most discerning photographers satisfied. This is Leica’s first full-frame mirrorless camera, and it features a 24MP CMOS sensor with no low-pass filter and the Leica Maestro II processor, which combine to enable 11 fps burst shooting at full resolution, and a native sensitivity range of ISO 50-50000.

Video recording capabilities include full HD 1080p at up to 120 fps, UHD 4K at 30 fps, and DCI 4K at 24 fps. The SL can record internally at 8 bit and can record 10-bit color depth to an external recorder via HDMI. A flat V-Log L gamma profile maximizes dynamic range and allows the user greater flexibility and control when post-processing video. A built-in microphone records stereo audio with manual or auto level controls, and a 3.5mm mic input and a 3.5mm headphone output give you further control.
The 2.95" 1.04m-dot back-lit LED touchscreen features anti-fingerprint and anti-scratch coating. As an alternative to the LED display, the 0.66" 4.4MP EyeRes electronic viewfinder offers 0.8x magnification for optimized eye-level viewing and composition.
Fast autofocus is realized via a contrast-based AF system, burst shooting can be captured at 11 fps for up to 33 DNG images or unlimited JPEG files. A primary card slot accepts UHS-II SD cards and a secondary slot takes UHS-I SD cards. Wi-Fi and GPS capabilities are built into the camera, allowing easy sharing and geo-tagging of images.
The body of the camera is made from two machined pieces of solid aluminum, and weather-sealed to stand up to shooting in adverse conditions. The body design features control dials and a top 1.28" monochrome LCD screen for viewing your settings. The SL (Typ 601) is a departure from Leica’s common body design, as it incorporates a large ergonomic grip, more often seen on SLR-style cameras.
