Leica
TL (Body Only) Silver
Mirrorless Digital APS-C system camera
Compact and intuitive, the silver TL from Leica is a mirrorless digital camera that blends both form and function for recording high-resolution stills and Full HD 1080p video. Crafted from a single block of aluminium alloy, it features an APS-C format 16.3MP CMOS sensor to provide a sensitivity range of ISO 100-12500, as well as a fast 5 fps shooting rate. The sensor's design also enables a quick contrast-detection autofocus system, which can be used in conjunction with automatic face detection as well as touch AF for fine-tuned control.
Continuing the camera's seamless aesthetic, the body incorporates just four physical controls and relies on the large 3.7" 1.3m-dot touchscreen LCD for the bulk of menu navigation and operational control. The high-resolution screen affords a clear view for composing or reviewing imagery, and the MyCamera menu lets you customise the settings layout to suit your own shooting workflow. In regard to saving photos and movies, an SD memory card slot is available alongside 32GB of internal memory.
The camera also includes integrated Wi-Fi connectivity to connect iOS and Android devices for wirelessly sharing photos and movies. The free Leica TL-App facilitates sharing imagery between the camera and device, and the app also enables a remote function for wirelessly adjusting the camera's shutter speed, aperture, and for releasing the shutter. The app can also be used as a remote electronic viewfinder that makes it easier to compose self-portraits or group shots, or when working from difficult shooting angles.
The camera uses Leica's mirrorless L-bayonet mount to connect to both full-frame SL-series and APS-C TL-series lenses, including those with OIS. The L mount can also accept a variety of adapters, such as the M-Adapter L which allows the TL2 to be used with the entire range of M-mount lenses.
