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 A7 III and Leica M Typ 262 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. 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). Leica M 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).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony A7 III and the Leica M Typ 262. Leica M Typ 262 is 16mm shorter and 32mm thinner than Sony A7 III but it is also 12mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony A7 III and Leica M Typ 262.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony A7 III and Leica M Typ 262.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica M 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 Sony A7 III and Leica M Typ 262 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
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the A7 III has a big advantage over the M Typ 262 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony A7 III and Leica M Typ 262's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony A7 III 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 Typ 262 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to A7 III.
