New Leica SL3-P - Leica's Best System Camera Likely

This is my introductory video for the new Leica SL3-P with its new 44MP BSI CMOS sensor. In the video I will tell you everything you need to know about this brand-new Leica system camera. Of course I will also show lots of sample images as a first test of image quality. And as always on this channel I will follow-up very soon with more videos covering shooting long exposures in the evening and at night shooting with the pixel-shift Multishot drive mode testing the improved and much more speedy autofocus system testing the 40fps continuous shooting burst mode with full autofocus support testing the shorter read-out time of the sensor compared to the SL3 and SL3-S. This video was recorded in April 2026, so more than two months before Leica announced the new Leica SL3-P in public which happened by now when this video here is posted. I had to adhere to the usual Leica embargo like always when the provide me with new gear long before the official launch. If you like my content, please subscribe and support my work, many thanks!
