Leica Presents the SL3 Reporter for Tough World-Class Conditions
Leica has introduced the SL3 Reporter one tougher version of the SL3 mirrorless camera. This version bears the distinguishing traits of its body coloration, materials-durability, and weatherproofing -- all features that support shooting under adverse conditions.
Main Upgrades of the Reporter Edition
The Reporter's physical design and extra durability set it apart from the standard SL3.
- Distinctive Body: The camera is clad in olive green with scratch-resistant aramid fiber inlays.
- Unique Patina: Leica explains that, over time with use, the paint will develop a unique patina pattern instead of just fading.
- Weather Protection: Dust and splashproof with IP54 protection rating to better survive challenging conditions.
Core Performance Remains Unchanged
Internally the SL3 Reporter retains the same high-performance specifications as the base model, meaning no compromise was made on the image standards.
- Sensor: 60.3 MP CMOS sensor using back illumination with five-axis stabilization.
- Autofocus: Hybrid AF system using phase detection, contrast, and object detection.
- Viewfinder: High-resolution OLED viewfinder, 5.76 million dots.
- Displays: Two screens, a 1.28-inch top transflective display for settings and a back 3.2-inch main touch LCD panel.
Price Information
The Leica SL3 Reporter has a price tag that is marginally higher than its standard counterpart owing to its robust build and materials.
