Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Leica SL and Leica M Edition 60 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica SL has external dimensions of 147 x 104 x 39 mm (5.79 x 4.09 x 1.54″) and weighs 847 g (1.87 lb / 29.88 oz) (including batteries). Leica M Edition 60 has external dimensions of 139 x 80 x 42 mm (5.47 x 3.15 x 1.65″) and weighs 680 g (1.50 lb / 23.99 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica SL and the Leica M Edition 60. Leica M Edition 60 is 8mm narrower and 24mm shorter than Leica SL but it is also 3mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Leica SL and Leica M Edition 60.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica SL and Leica M Edition 60.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica M Edition 60 is significantly lighter (167g ) than the Leica SL which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Leica SL and Leica M Edition 60 have the same Full frame sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
Weather Sealing
Both the SL and the M Edition 60 have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica SL and Leica M Edition 60's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
