Leica SL2-S full-frame mirrorless camera has just been announced. It features a 24.6MP sensor with IBIS, ISO up to 100,000, and it sports an L-Mount, of course. The camera can shoot up to 25fps 14-bit DNG raw internally without time limit. Furthermore it does stills of course and video up to DCI 4K 30fps in 4:2:2 10-bit or DCI 4K 60fps in 4:2:0 8-bit. The Leica SL2-S can now be pre-ordered for $4,895. Roughly a year ago, Leica introduced the SL2 full-frame mirrorless camera.
