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 M-D Typ 262 and Sony A7 III side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica M-D Typ 262 has external dimensions of 139 x 80 x 42 mm (5.47 x 3.15 x 1.65″) and weighs 600 g (1.32 lb / 23.99 oz) (including batteries). Sony A7 III has external dimensions of 127 x 96 x 74 mm (5 x 3.78 x 2.91″) and weighs 650 g (1.43 lb / 22.93 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica M-D Typ 262 is 50g lighter than the Sony A7 III 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 Leica M-D Typ 262 and Sony A7 III 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
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the A7 III, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the M-D Typ 262.
