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 SL2 and Fujifilm GFX 50S side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions.
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Leica SL2 and Fujifilm GFX 50S. Leica SL2 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 2mm narrower, 8mm shorter and 49mm thinner than Fujifilm GFX 50S.
Here is the back view size comparison of Leica SL2 and Fujifilm GFX 50S.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica SL2 and Fujifilm GFX 50S.
Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm GFX 50S is 95g lighter than the Leica SL2 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 have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Fujifilm GFX 50S has a Medium format sensor and Leica SL2 has a smaller Full frame sensor, Leica SL2's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Fujifilm GFX 50S lenses.

Weather Sealing
Both SL2 and GFX 50S have weather sealings in their body, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica SL2 and Fujifilm GFX 50S's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3.2″.
Leica SL2 has a 47.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Maestro III processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm GFX 50S has a 51.0MP Medium format (44 x 33 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features X Processor Pro processor.
Another difference between these two cameras is that Leica SL2's sensor lacks anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes.
Below you can see the SL2 and GFX 50S sensor size comparison.
As seen above, Fujifilm GFX 50S has a 1.7x Larger sensor area than Leica SL2. 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.
In this section, we rank and compare Leica SL2 and Fujifilm GFX 50S for five different photography types in order to make your decision process easier in case you are specifically interested in one or more of these areas.
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 SL2 has an advantage over Fujifilm GFX 50S. There are 29 lenses for Leica SL2's Leica L mount, on the other hand there are only 10 lenses for Fujifilm GFX 50S's Fujifilm G lens mount.
Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. Leica SL2 has a big advantage in this regard because it has a sensor based image stabilization which means that all the lenses mounted to this body will be stabilized. On the other hand, Fujifilm GFX 50S doesn't have this feature so you have to buy a lens with optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 3 lenses for Fujifilm G mount with Optical Image Stabilization features.
