![]() Yes, the camera packs up and goes home a bit earlier where burst shooting and 4K video are concerned due to “voltage demands” on a relatively low battery with 25% remaining. ![]() ![]() You may think the SL2 has a few more bugs when you first use it as well, like forgetting last-selected settings in the video resolution menu, or refusing to record 4K with the Sigma MC-21 EF adapter, or refusing to record very much at all when the battery still has one bar remaining. For contrast detect it’s very fast like the S1R, and not actually all that terrible in video mode either. This is a pity, because AF speed is a big step up from the Sigmal Fp, Leica SL and Panasonic S1 or S1H. Here, we have a system that prioritises the tiniest spec of dust on a window rather than the epic landscape behind it. The Leica SL2’s biggest bug is the autofocus system. The problem also goes away in one of the programme auto settings or Aperture priority, or even in manual when Auto ISO is enabled. In video mode the problem doesn’t exist and the live-view display shows the correct result at all times. When the camera can’t read the aperture, you’ll be setting precise exposure only to find the final image is 1-stop darker. The Sigma Fp has an issue where in stills mode, live-view over estimates the brightness of the final image if a manual focus lens is attached via a passive adapter with no electronic contacts. We’re talking about two absolutely fantastic cameras here, but both companies though need to get a firmware update out. Once again Sigma have knocked the quality of their optics out of the park, but this one prioritises character over sharpness. The lens is a gem and has fantastic rendering, with the 3D pop of a Zeiss at F2, rather than a kit lens at F2.8. We’re looking at $1899 for the Fp, but I recommend going for the kit with the 45mm F2.8, at $2199. I thought I’d get to know the two, if that’s the case!Īlong with the Panasonic S1H and S1, L-mount is turning into quite a force for filmmakers.Īll the cameras are targeted at the high-end of the market, but the Panasonic S1 and Fp are priced well enough for enthusiasts to afford (unlike the Leica SL2!). The Leica SL2 shoots very high quality 10bit 4K LOG internally with more of a passing resemblance to Arri Alexa colour science and LOG profile. The Sigma Fp of course shoots Cinema DNG 4K RAW at up to 12bit to SSD via USB C and 8bit RAW internally.
