Leica SL3-P: 48 Hours to Decide
I got the chance to try the Leica SL3-P for 48 hours before deciding whether I should actually buy it.
Instead of doing a typical camera review, I wanted to take it out and use it the way I would use a camera in real life — walking around, taking photographs, dealing with changing weather, and seeing how quickly I could get comfortable with it.
After a couple of hours, I was already starting to like it. But the big question remained: is the Leica SL3-P worth the money?
And then there was the battery…
I had just 48 hours to figure out whether this was a camera I could see myself owning — or whether I should stick with what I already have.

If you’re considering the Leica SL3-P, I hope this gives you a better idea of what it’s like to actually live with the camera rather than just looking at specifications.
What would you choose — try it or buy it?

Would YOU buy the Leica SL3-P? 👇
BUY or RETURN — and why?
"Should I buy this Leica, or upgrade my Hasselblad to the new version?" Man, you've got too much money! 😂
Once again, great video. I prefer the shot where you can see the flowers a bit, rather than having them all blurred out.
And I hope you didn't break your back carrying that massive power bank! 😂
cannot go wrong with film leica- no menus 🤣
I‘ve been using a Leica CL (also L-mount, but APS-C) for a couple of years. In the end, I decided to sell it and switch to Canon. One major reason: battery life.
Return of course, they lose value pretty fast and are a hard sell second hand. Leica should stick to making rangefinder cameras, that's their forte.
The SL’s are great, but aesthetically they scratch up way too easily. Mind you so does the Hasselblad X2D.
I’m sure you would like the menu system better if that was the system you were used to. When everything is different it takes some time and effort 😊
Seems like a good camera. Must be expensive 😅
Your 'Profiles' issue is simple user error. You need to go into manage profiles > save > … for it to remember a profile. It's annoying before you know but it works ok.
Beautiful images!
I have an Sl2. The user profile set up was annoying at first, but once I got the logic of it, it has been quite superb, and doesn't change when it's switched off. I use 2x SCL4 batteries and 1 x SCL6 battery and they easily last a day.
Add spanish lenguage, please
Nice swans!
Stay with Hasselblad❤📷
Surely you need to use your brains and do a side by side vs the Hasselblad X2D mark II…
why fix it if it ain't broke.
better the devil you know than the devil you don't
all i can afford is a sony
You should buy the camera😊
