▼ Summary

– The SL3-P lacks the iconic red dot badge on its front, consistent with previous Leica “P” camera variants.
– It features a 44-megapixel sensor, larger than the 24-megapixel SL3-S but smaller than the 60-megapixel SL3.

– It introduces a new hybrid autofocus system that may outperform both predecessor models.
Following the 2024 debut of the Leica SL3 and the speed-focused SL3-S from last year, Leica has unveiled the SL3-P, a hybrid model that merges the standout traits of both earlier cameras. True to the “P” series tradition, this new body omits the brand’s iconic red dot badge from the front, but it compensates with a substantial 44-megapixel sensor,a notable jump from the 24-megapixel SL3-S. While it doesn’t reach the 60-megapixel resolution of the original SL3, the SL3-P matches its predecessor’s ability to capture 8K video and introduces a new hybrid autofocus system designed to outperform both earlier models.
