Leica SL2 vs Nikon Z7
The Leica SL2 and the Nikon Z7 side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.
Which to pick
Pick the Nikon Z7 if you want a lighter body (675 g against 920 g). On these specs the Leica SL2 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 Nikon Z lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
