Leica SL SL2-S Green 2020

63 Streaming Score
24.6MP full-frame 4K @60fps
Why we recommend this

A 24.6MP full-frame BSI-CMOS sensor and Maestro III processor enable 25fps bursts with 4K 10-bit video, while the aramid fiber-reinforced body provides extreme weather sealing for harsh environments. Its 5.8M-dot EVF and 5-stop IBIS deliver a refined shooting experience, though the 510-shot battery life and fixed touchscreen limit extended field use. This camera is best for sports and wildlife photographers who need a durable, high-speed body and prioritize optical quality over video-centric features.
