Score: 86/100Rankings
Leica's SL3-S is a professional-grade full-frame mirrorless camera with a 60 MP sensor, 5-axis in-body stabilization and 8K video, offering exceptional image detail and robust performance. Its large, heavy body, modest battery life and massive file sizes make it less portable and demanding on storage. Best suited for professionals and advanced creators who need top-tier resolution and video capabilities.
The Panasonic Lumix GH7 is a video-centric mirrorless camera offering unlimited 4K recording, internal ProRes RAW and a powerful 5-axis IBIS. Its smaller Micro Four Thirds sensor and modest battery life are trade-offs for the advanced video features. Best suited for professional videographers and indie filmmakers who prioritize video performance over low-light stills.

Reviewers consider the GH7 a video-centric powerhouse, emphasizing its unlimited 4K capture, internal ProRes RAW, and 32-bit float audio as major workflow improvements.
Professional reviewers commend the SL3 for its rapid and accurate autofocus, high-resolution image quality, and ergonomic improvements over the SL2. They highlight the camera's lighter, more compact body, deeper grip, enhanced thermal handling, and a generous 15-stop dynamic range as key advantages for demanding photographic work.
Everyday users appreciate the SL3's image quality and lighter form factor compared to previous models, but some wish the camera were even more compact and note the increased depth makes it less pocket-friendly. Battery life and large file sizes are also common discussion points among consumers.
