The Leica SL2-S has been officially unveiled by the manufacturer, and is being positioned as the 'Leica for videographers' with its limit-free 10-bit 4K 60p capabilities, leaner body and sensor resolution, and lower price point.  

On paper the Leica SL2-S is a less expensive, lower resolution version of the original Leica SL2 – though this new 24MP full-framer has some very welcome new features that make it more than just a smaller camera with a smaller price tag.
