Leica sl2 vs nikon z9?

Both are full frame mirrorless bodies with in-body stabilisation, and the choice mostly comes down to mount. The Leica SL2 (2019) has 47 megapixels and a weather-sealed body on L-Mount. The Nikon Z9 (2021) has 45.7 megapixels on the Nikon Z mount.

I'd pick the Z9 if you're already in the Nikon system or want its wide lens range. I'd pick the SL2 if you want Leica's L-Mount glass and the slightly higher resolution. Good lenses for each:

• Z9: Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II and Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II
• SL2: Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-70mm f/2.8 ASPH and Leica APO-Summicron-SL 50mm f/2 ASPH

If you want Leica but low light and video matter more than resolution, the Leica SL2-S has 24 megapixels and is better suited to those jobs.
