Canon EOS R5 Mark II vs Leica SL3

The Canon EOS R5 Mark II and the Leica SL3 side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.

Which to pick

Pick the Leica SL3 if you want more resolution, for cropping and big prints (60 against 45 MP) and more lenses made for it in this guide (158 against 99). On these specs the Canon EOS R5 Mark II has no clear advantage: choose it if the price, the handling or a lens you own decides it. If you already own Canon RF or L-Mount lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
