    David Farkas replied to the topic Who plans on using 4K video? in the forum Leica S (Typ 007) 9 years, 5 months ago

    Al, the S007 is already priced considerably less than the S006 was, for a lot more features and performance.

    While I am solidly in the photos-only camp with you, I think that it does open the use of the camera to those that need high quality video some of the time, to augment still work.

      Congratulations!
      Excellent report, beautiful pics. The cyclist riding in the yellow morning fog and the very last pic are my favorite ones.
      I guess I'm a dyed-in-the-wool M user and will thus not get excited about the SL. But it nonetheless seems to be a fascinating piece of technology.
      Greetings from Sao Paulo …

      David,
      Excellent review.
      I am a S2 and M240 MP owner.
      Im on the fence with the SL.
      Still love my S and M system, yet as I get older it would sure be nice to have AF or a good EVF option for my M system.

      David Farkas replied 8 years, 4 months ago

      Simon,

      The SL can certainly be used in a studio environment. But you are correct that that you need to turn off exposure simulation so that you don't get a black frame with typical strobe settings. To disable Exposure Preview, just go to the second page of the camera menu and set Exp. Preview to Off. Hope this helps.

      Girogo,

      The X-U can be submerged to 15m for 60 minutes. 2m shouldn't be an issue whatsoever.

      Leica Store Miami should have the cameras in stock very shortly, so you'd certainly be able to get one for your assignment.

      is it possible for leica to remove the gray band behind the viewfinder information so as not to obstruct the view of the entire image in the viewfinder for better composition?

      is it also possible to introduce a square format?

    Dale,
    If a camera does not have enough “latitude” or Dynamic range, the solution as you suggested would be HDR via combining two or more images. I used to do that and it required a tripod usually, no motion in the subject like the moving cars, and I still didn't like the result very often. Probably my fault.

    With enough dynamic range as with the…[Read more]

    Dale,
    The issue turned out to be file size.
    If this one goes up, we know 1.5 m can work.
    If it doesn't, then I go to a mere .5m

    Used to be David allowed huge files, up to 20M. I think when he revised the forum, that changed.
