I've heard the Sony described as a toyBack to the topic of the OP. If the SL is sexy, then the Sony A7 series cameras must also be sexy since front on they look about the same except for obvious company markings/logos.

Oh, come one... the Sony is black tooI've heard the Sony described as a toy
I live 30 minutes from the beaches here in SoCal and it's been 80-90+˚ for the past few weeks. This thread is a nice variation :thumbup:You all need to go to the beach on a hot summer day. Than if you say this is still sexy I'm sending a white padded truck for ya. Lol
You all lost it. ROTFLMAO
Do they do a bright purple one too? :bugeyes:Oh, come one... the Sony is black too
Wait long enough and anything is possible like perhaps a Lenny Kravitz SL. I wonder if they saw off the EVF for that model so it looks more like a Leica instead of a Sony?Do they do a bright purple one too? :bugeyes:
Sounds to me like Simon Garfield had written his story before he tried out the cameraFrankly, the SL looks a whole lot like an A7II with a red dot and brings to mind this little story by Simon Garfield in Esquire Magazine:
"THe felt bolder. He felt more able to edge himself into situations from which he previously would have shrunk. When he reviewed his pictures later, he found them to be better than those he had taken before.
I expect that Peter has a different definition of "sexy" for machinery (a subsidiary and very inferior version in my case) . . . . Still, the Boxster and a Leica R8 certainly qualify - the jury is out on the SL as far as I'm concerned . . . . Beach sexy is quite a different speciesYou all need to go to the beach on a hot summer day. Than if you say this is still sexy I'm sending a white padded truck for ya. Lol

Now by the term "Boxster" do you refer to the SL? Just kidding.:ROTFL:I expect that Peter has a different definition of "sexy" for machinery (a subsidiary and very inferior version in my case) . . . .

"Almost Sexy"? Seriously?? Gary when is a trio of Swedish beauties not simply outright Sexy? (OK maybe if you are refering to a trio of Swedish meatballs...LOL)Rather than "sexy", "beautiful" is the word I would use, but I think we all know what Peter was getting at. Some cameras just look so good, it's hard not to stare, fondle them and dare I say it...drool over them. When they feel as good and natural in your hands as they look, when the camera works to near perfection, it's even better.
Beauty is to some great measure in the eye of the beholder. While I like the look and concept of the new SL, I'm not sure if it falls into that category of beautiful cameras for me just yet. I love the Nikon F2, Leica R8/R9, Leica S and too many others to name here. I'll just add a photo of a few of my personal favorites, a trio of Swedish beauties...I'll be darned if they aren't almost "sexy".

Try riding a DucatiThe day I think of machinery as sexy will be the day I admit that I'm past it.
Steve Huff is in Love, and he gives you a vey good look at it:You all need to go to the beach on a hot summer day. Than if you say this is still sexy I'm sending a white padded truck for ya. Lol
