More and more leading companies from our industry are announcing the development of dedicated CINE cameras. When we examine them closely, we can’t help but notice that Leica is not on the list but missing from this race. And, of course, now we are curious if you’d even want a Leica CINE camera. So, we ask the obvious question down in the poll for you to vote and let us know!
Following FUJIFILM’s recent announcement introducing their GFX ETERNA filmmaking camera, we took a closer look and noticed that Leica hasn’t followed ship in this category so far. The original Leica SL (Type 601) camera was introduced to the market nine years ago (in case you missed it, watch/read our review and see footage here), and since then, the company has introduced the SL2, SL2-S, and lately, the SL3.
Leica is a company that specializes in and is known for making high-quality photo cameras that can also shoot high-quality videos. So the question remains: Would you want Leica to come out with a dedicated CINE camera?
We are aware that Leica is a “photography first” company. Yet, we hope to see the company jumping on the wagon of innovation by offering such a box-type CINE camera. Also, this article is in no way being endorsed by the company and is purely to still our curiosity.
