Mirrorlessrumors just leaked the first images and specs of the new Leica SL. It is the first Sony A7 competitor (mirrorless, autofocus and Full Frame). And the design somehow reminds me also of the …Sony A7 :)
The Leica SL has a 24MP sensor and costs $6900 Euro (twice the price of the A7rII and 4 times the price of the A7II). It’s certainly a niche product. But what could be a bit more interesting is that Panasonic is part of the project and delivers plenty of tech to Leica (4K video, processor, autofocus and so on). There might be a chance that sometimes in the not so distant future Panasonic will use the same mount to launch their first FF camera. And that would certainly be a worthy Sony competitor.
