The Leica SL3 is a full-frame mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera released by Leica Camera on 7 March 2024. The camera uses the Leica L-Mount lenses range and is part of the L-Mount Alliance of camera bodies that Leica co-developed with Panasonic and Sigma.
The SL3 has a 60.3-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor with 5-axis in-body image stabilization and is powered by the Leica Maestro IV processor. It introduces a hybrid autofocus system combining phase-detection, contrast detection, and depth-map methods, with 315 AF areas and subject-detection modes. The SL3 features dual card slots (SD UHS-II and CFexpress Type B), an IP54-rated weather-sealed metal body, and an OLED electronic viewfinder rated at 5.76 million dots (up to 120 fps). Video recording includes 8K and C8K capture, with MOV/MP4 support including H.264/H.265 and ProRes options depending on settings and modes.
The Leica SL3 succeeds the Leica SL2.
SL3-P In June 2026, Leica released the SL3-P, featuring a 44-megapixel back-illuminated full-frame sensor, an 819-point hybrid autofocus system and continuous shooting at up to 40 frames per second with autofocus. The camera can record 8.1K open-gate video and 8K video at up to 30 frames per second, while its multishot mode produces images with a resolution of up to 176 megapixels. It also supports the Content Authenticity Initiative's Content Credentials system for attaching tamper-evident provenance information to images.
