The design of the Leica SL3 remains largely unchanged from its predecessor, the SL2, with one notable addition: a new dial on the left shoulder. Additionally, there seems to be a slight reduction in the size of the body, possibly in line with rumors. However, the most significant alteration lies in the back monitor, which is now movable, allowing for tilting—a substantial change from previous models.
