The Leica TL2 is the third model in a series of interchangeable-lens cameras based upon a compact 'unibody' machined from a single block of aluminium. We reviewed the original Leica T (Typ 701) back in May 2014, but not its successor, the Leica TL.

The Leica TL2 is certainly not without its charms. It's beautifully made, the large and bright touchscreen is one of the best we've used on a camera, and images from the 24.3MP APS-C sensor are very good (provided you shoot in raw).

Stunning touchscreen; Excellent raw image quality; Premium finish

High price; Poor battery life; No IS for still images; No built-in EVF

The Leica TL2 is a 24MP mirrorless camera with a one-piece aluminium body and very smartphone-like touchscreen control. It has a gorgeous tactile design with one of the best touch interfaces you'll find on any camera.

Leica's newest mirrorless camera is making a style statement...

Sharp images; Stylish exterior; 4K video
