I can tell you this, I shot canon for over 10 years. Had 2 1dx ii bodies and 11 L series lenses. I switched a year and a half ago and never looked back. You said you’re using the m10. I’m assuming you have M lenses also. Well, the SL has amazing focus peaking. Believe it or not, the SL and the M would have the same performance regarding ISO and processing power. You can adapt your lenses to the SL. But if you’re wondering about the SL 2, that will eventually happen, and when it does, it’ll be amazing. I can’t tell you how amazing the native SL lenses are. They even put medium format lenses to shame. If you want to switch, please do it without hesitation. You will not be disappointed. Good luck!!Hi,
are there rumors according to an update of Leicas SL?
I`d like to switch from my loved M10 to the SL system, but I'm not sure if i should invest in an almost 4 year old system/camera...
The M10 is perfect but my eyes are getting weaker and weaker.....
I have an M10 and an SL. If you have an M10 I wouldn't worry about the age of the SL. It has a stellar sensor, great lenses and Leica's signature minimalist approach. Most of it is menu based, refreshingly so for my taste. The usual knobfest on a lot of mirrorless cameras annoys the hell out of me and you can work your way round the SL in a relatively short time. Great camera, with almost identical IQ to the M10. One thing you will have to get used to is the size and weight. I walk around with the camera, battery grip and 24-90mm zoom lens. Lens just say I'm building some serious arm muscles from this !!

I believe that the SL lenses are more than capable of handling a 40mp sensor, as a matter of fact, i think they'll shine at higher MPs because the glass is just unbelievable.I'm sure the SL2 will be a beauty, and I could well be tempted, but it will no doubt have a sensor in the region of 40Mp. Yes in theory that will give you finer detail and the ability to crop more but the larger files will demand more computer processing power and hard disk space. You will also need the very best lenses and technique to maximise on the investment.
I find 24 Mp more than enough for my needs and regularly print to A3+ size with stunning results from my current SL and M lenses.
But .........
None of my M lenses are that old so I can't comment, other than that they all perform beautifully on my SL. Contrast that with some of my Nikon glass that I bought when we were in the 12Mp era that perform very disappointingly on a 24Mp sensor.
Like the M lenses, I have a set of Nikon F film lenses that I use on my SL. I think you are right about some of the early digital Nikon F lenses, but my older lenses are very sharp across the frame. I have a couple of Voigtlander SLR lenses - 20mm f/3.5 and 58mm f/1.4 which perform very well indeed.None of my M lenses are that old so I can't comment, other than that they all perform beautifully on my SL.
