It's not a candidate to replace my A1; too big, too slow. I also hope we see a high pixel Panasonic with better performance than this.I suspect that the Nikon Z8 or the Sony A1 are better cameras than this Leica, I do hope that the next version of Lumix catches up with the competition.
Sony has no full frame under 1500 USD. The A7III, the cheapest still listed FF body, is the same price as the S5. Nikons Z5 is much cheaper in the us, but not in Europe. But I don't would not compere list prices of bodys over one year on the market. If you consider marked prices only currently listed models and not discontinued ones, than enterence for Nikon Z, Sony E and Panasonic L-Mount are very similar priced. Only Canon RF gives a much cheaper access to full frame mirrorless with the RP....
Sony, Canon, Nikon, they all offer cheap entry level cameras with official list prices way below 1.500 USD without any promotion.
Agree, and a Canon is like a HP printer. They don't make money on the Camera (printer), but afterwards make the money on the lenses (inkt).Sony has no full frame under 1500 USD. The A7III, the cheapest still listed FF body, is the same price as the S5. Nikons Z5 is much cheaper in the us, but not in Europe.

Do you have a reference for a microprism array on SL cameras?SL cameras have a sensor with the microprism, so that you can use the very small Leica M fullframe lenses on that non-rangefinder body without image quality problems in the corner of the image.

Do you mean that the Lumix S1R does not have that microprism in the sensor?SL cameras have a sensor with the microprism

Just read Jono Slack review, you will get your answer.
To sum up, SL2 is the same as SL for M support. Supposedly better than S1R. Thanks to special micro lenses array and thinner sensor filter stack : 2 layers instead of 3.
However M10 is still the best option with only 1 layer of sensor filter, instead of 2 with the SL2.
Interesting... I did not know that.Exactly

And Jono Slack refers to Reid Reviews:
Years ago, Leica said they will never be able to launch a FF M body because the M lenses can not be optimized with the small M mount for this. Years later they introduces this special solution and introduced M bodies with a FF sensor.
I hope that we do not get only a Lumix "S2R", but also a smaller body at a more entry level price point to attract new customers to the L-Mount system.
