DO YOU REMEMBER THE BURST TIME? Leica SL2-S

There are lots of great quotes in Top Gun:

“You can be my wingman any time”, “It’s time to buzz the tower” and “Take me to bed or lose me forever.” But the one that Leica most likely had blown up on the wall while it was working on the SL2-S is the most famous of all: “I feel the need… the need for speed.”

If that sounds like your approach to photography (and you’ve got a spare four grand to offload), this full-frame 24MP BSI-CMOS speedster has a Maestro III processor with 4GB buffer memory, so it can burst-shoot at up to 25fps at full resolution, with back-side illumination offering a higher ISO range (up to 100,000) and better low-light performance than the standard SL2. There’s support for 4K video too, with no limit on length, so you can carry on shooting 10-bit 4:2:2 footage at up to 30fps until the SD card can’t take any more.

There’s a 3.2in touchscreen and 5.76MP OLED viewfinder, to round off a camera that’s writing cheques its Ip54-rated all-metal body certainly can cash.

As hot as… great balls of fire
