Buying call

Buy the SL3-P if you want Leica build quality and image quality in a full-frame mirrorless body: reviewers praised its outstanding images, IP54 weather sealing, handy top-plate display, a 40fps high-speed mode and the brand's best autofocus so far. Skip it if value matters, because it's extremely expensive, tracking autofocus still trails Sony, Canon and Nikon, battery life is middling and the rear screen only tilts.
