Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica TL2 is significantly lighter (248g ) than the Sony A77 II 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 Sony A77 II and Leica TL2 have the same APS-C 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 A77 II has a big advantage over the which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica TL2's 3.70" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony A77 II's 3 screen.
On the other hand, Sony A77 II 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 TL2 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to A77 II.
