The Leica SL Captures Even the Fastest Moments

Professional and amateur photographers alike can appreciate Leica’s new SL camera. It has endless features that allow you to capture a special moment, even if it’s going full speed! That’s because the processor can capture 24-megapixel exposures at rates of up to 11 frames per second. It also has a CMOS full-frame sensor that has shutter speeds from 30 minutes to 1/8000 of a second as well as a Maestro II series processor and buffer memory that make it possible to take photographs at speeds and resolutions that couldn’t be done before. That means if you’re trying to capture a cheetah running while you’re on safari, or if you’re at a football game and you want to catch that winning touchdown, or even if you’re trying to get a photograph of the little ones while they’re running around.

The camera also fits with every practically every Leica lens ever made, so you can use your old lenses with it. In addition, it’s equipped with two memory card slots and enhanced video capabilities as well as touchscreen display features. Best of all, it’s durable, so it will survive even the roughest times: “The “Made in Germany” seal of quality for the Leica SL system guarantees that only the finest materials and craftsmanship are used in its construction. The SL’s solid-aluminium body components, and precisely engineered weather-resistant seals around controls and in the lenses, provide optimum protection against dust, moisture and splashes,” reads the press release. “Meanwhile integrated ultrasonic sensor cleaning removes dust and dirt, preventing them from showing up in images. The glass covering the back panel display is extremely scratch-resistant and features an anti-glare coating. All these properties make the camera an ideal tool for use in the unpredictable conditions professional photographers face.”

Although Apple TV+ has a number of hits on its hands, Shrinking has proven to be one of the service's most successful shows over the course of its first two seasons. After the second season wrapped up in December of 2024, fans have been eagerly anticipating a third outing.

Unlike some shows that take years to return, it's now looking like Shrinking could be back before the end of the year after news broke that the third season has finished filming. In a video shared across Apple TV's various social media channels, we see Jason Segel and Harrison Ford addressing the show's cast and crew as production wraps.

After spending more than a decade in the world of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Vince Gilligan is finally branching out into something new. The new series, which is coming from Apple, is called Pluribus and stars Rhea Seehorn, who also starred in Better Call Saul.

Now, we've got our first teaser for the new show, and it's just as baffling as you might expect.

The teaser is just 30 seconds long, and we don't see Seehorn or have any context for what the show is about.
