Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate Leica CL and Fujifilm GFX 50R side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica CL has external dimensions of 131 x 78 x 45 mm (5.16 x 3.07 x 1.77″) and weighs 403 g (0.89 lb / 14.22 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm GFX 50R has external dimensions of 161 x 97 x 66 mm (6.34 x 3.82 x 2.6″) and weighs 775 g (1.71 lb / 27.34 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Leica CL and Fujifilm GFX 50R. Leica CL is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 30mm narrower, 19mm shorter and 21mm thinner than Fujifilm GFX 50R.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica CL is significantly lighter (372g ) than the Fujifilm GFX 50R 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 have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Leica CL has an APS-C sized sensor and Fujifilm GFX 50R has a smaller Medium format sensor, Fujifilm GFX 50R's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Leica CL lenses.

Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather sealed body of GFX 50R, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to CL.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm GFX 50R's 3.2 LCD screen is slightly larger than Leica CL's 3" screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Fujifilm GFX 50R LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over the head levels. On the other hand, Leica CL has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to GFX 50R.
Leica CL has a 24.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Maestro II processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm GFX 50R has a 51.0MP Medium format (44 x 33 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features X Processor Pro processor.
Fujifilm GFX 50R's sensor provides 27MP more than Leica CL's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the CL and GFX 50R sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Leica CL and Fujifilm GFX 50R Cameras
As seen above, Fujifilm GFX 50R has a 3.9x Larger sensor area than Leica CL. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that Leica CL has an advantage over Fujifilm GFX 50R. There are 31 lenses for Leica CL's Leica L mount, on the other hand there are only 12 lenses for Fujifilm GFX 50R's Fujifilm G lens mount.
Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. None of these bodies have sensor based image stabilization so you have to buy lenses with Optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 4 lenses for Leica L mount and 4 lenses for Fujifilm G mount with IS.
