I understand, the SL 3 is tempting.I had hoped for a camera with at least 60 mpx.
So if it really is 45 mpx it represents, for me, a useless purchase.
It would be the trick that breaks the camel's back after the half-disappointment of the new 24-105/2.8 which requires software corrections to remedy the terrible distortion and chromatic aberration.
I'm honestly thinking of abandoning Canon to switch to Leica SL (SL3 will be released soon with 60 mpx and 15 exposure latitude apertures) with its Apo lenses.
What deterred me from buying it, is that some lenses I often use, like TS and longer-zooms, are either missing (TS), or made by Sigma or Panasonic. The choice of genuine Leica SL lenses is reduced.
And I do not buy a Leica to fit it with Sigma lenses. Leica is about lenses, much more than about bodies. The R5 is much more advanced than the SL 2, especially in its AF quality. As to the Apo lenses, which are truly exceptional, I own some in Leica M version.
But I must confess, I was tempted by the SL 2 and still am by the coming SL 3...If only they were as reliable as they should be. For Euro 6800 I expect total reliability...
