Canon EOS R5 Mark II vs Leica M EV1
The Canon EOS R5 Mark II and the Leica M EV1 side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.
Which to pick
Pick the Canon EOS R5 Mark II if you want stabilisation in the body, which steadies every lens. Pick the Leica M EV1 if you want more resolution, for cropping and big prints (60 against 45 MP) and a lighter body (484 g against 746 g). If you already own Canon RF or Leica M lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
