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 Sony A9 and Leica M Edition 60 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony A9 has external dimensions of 127 x 96 x 63 mm (5 x 3.78 x 2.48″) and weighs 673 g (1.48 lb / 23.74 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 Sony A9 and the Leica M Edition 60. Leica M Edition 60 is 16mm shorter and 21mm thinner than Sony A9 but it is also 12mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony A9 and Leica M Edition 60.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony A9 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.
Sony A9 is 7g lighter than the Leica M Edition 60 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
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 Sony A9 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 A9 and the M Edition 60 have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony A9 and Leica M Edition 60's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony A9 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Leica M Edition 60 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to A9.
