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 Canon R3 and Leica M Edition 60 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon R3 has external dimensions of 150 x 143 x 87 mm (5.91 x 5.63 x 3.43″) and weighs 1015 g (2.24 lb / 35.80 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 Canon R3 and the Leica M Edition 60. Leica M Edition 60 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 11mm narrower, 63mm shorter and 45mm thinner than Canon R3.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon R3 and Leica M Edition 60.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon R3 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 (335g ) than the Canon R3 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 Canon R3 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 R3 and the M Edition 60 have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon R3's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Leica M Edition 60's 3 screen.
Moreover, Canon R3 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Leica M Edition 60 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to R3.
