[Leica] Leica announces SL (Typ 601), a 24MP full frame mirrorless capable of 11fps and 4K video

[Scott Gregory]

Thoughts from Luminous Landscape today on SL

"The other main concern which I have is the user interface. The SL is very similar to the S in this regard, which means that there are unlabeled soft keys surrounding the rear LCD that make quick settings and navigation time-consuming and non-intuitive. I found the new S very difficult to come to terms with for this reason, and I would expect the SL to not be much different."
