Leica just dropped a camera that splits the difference between its 60MP flagship and its speed-focused sibling, and we got our hands on it before anyone else.
The new SL3p sits between the 60MP SL3 and the faster 24MP SL3-S, bringing 44 megapixels, 40fps continuous autofocus, 4K 120fps, 8K open gate, and a 176MP multishot mode to the table. We headed to Leica's headquarters in Wetzlar, Germany, for the camera's unveiling, and spent three days shooting with it on beta firmware. Daniel Norton behind the stills, Fernando on video alongside two new lenses: the 50mm Summilux f/1.4 and the 100mm Macro Elmarit f/2.8.
Daniel Norton is a versatile creator, an inspiring educator, and an avid student of life and the human condition. His profound passion lies in forging meaningful connections with the world, and he has found his avenue through photography.
By capturing captivating images, Daniel has not only built a successful career but has also crafted a fulfilling life centered around empowering others to embrace their true beauty and inherent significance. His expertise in photography has enabled him to help individuals see themselves in a new light.
Daniel dedicates himself to teaching photography techniques and sharing the philosophy of being a creator through live workshops, educational videos, writing, and podcasting.
