Leica SL2-S vs Sony a7C

The Leica SL2-S and the Sony a7C side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.

Which to pick

Pick the Sony a7C if you want more lenses made for it in this guide (278 against 158) and a lighter body (509 g against 931 g). On these specs the Leica SL2-S 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.
