Leica CL vs Sony a6100
The Leica CL and the Sony a6100 side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.
Which to pick
Pick the Sony a6100 if you want a newer model (2019 against 2017), which usually means better autofocus and video and more lenses made for it in this guide (403 against 185). On these specs the Leica CL has no clear advantage: choose it if the price, the handling or a lens you own decides it. If you already own L-Mount or Sony E lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
