If you were to allow yourself to overcome your prejudice and educate yourself further, go to: http://cameradecision.com/sizecomparison/Leica-M-Typ-240-vs-Leica-SL-size-comparison.jpg. There you can clearly see that the Leica M and the Leica SL are of similar size, especially if you were to add the electronic Visoflex to the Leica M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-91777311560646012512016-06-26T15:27:13.140-05:002016-06-26T15:27:13.140-05:00It is conservative people like you who are unable ...It is conservative people like you who are unable to see beyond their own shadow. By insisting that everything Leica had to be part of the M-system, Leica almost became part of history. Fortunately, more farsighted minds prevailed and put Leica on a new pass of success, by diving full tilt into digital photography and by offering innovative, new products like the Leica S line and the Leica SL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-25521340584414468002016-06-26T11:49:06.565-05:002016-06-26T11:49:06.565-05:00The Hasselblad is definitely somewhat of a game ch...The Hasselblad is definitely somewhat of a game changer. By size alone it eclipses all of the other digital medium format cameras by size alone. This is not surprising since virtually all of the other digital medium format cameras with the exception of the Leica S line, are based on previous analog cameras.<br /><br />The Leica SL and the new Hasselblad should not really be compared simply because the Leica SL has a full frame sensor compared to the Hasselblad's medium format one. As for the lenses, it is doubtful that the Hasselblad will ever come even remotely close to the number of choices available for the Leica SL. While the electronic sensor might not be anything of importance to some, it in itself was a definite game changer because for the first time it made a professional mirrorless camera a possibility without sacrificing viewfinder resolution. At its introduction the EV in the Leica SL had double the resolution of the nearest competitor.LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-90265970546273560272016-06-25T19:58:27.059-05:002016-06-25T19:58:27.059-05:00I think this HB product is a bit of a "game c...I think this HB product is a bit of a "game changer". It has essentially jumped over the top of the Sony A7rii in a size v sensor sense. I fully expect though this will be only temporary as Sony release their high end 35mm A9 soon enough. Haptics is VERY important and on the surface it looks like HB have done a great job here. <br /><br />As for SL v X1D it's hard to compare given SL being a 35mm camera and the ability to accommodate a much larger range of lenses. I don't think EVF has much to do with this at all in reality. I've used the SL and it would not be the reason I'd buy it, if I was going to.
