Leica T (Typ 701) vs Sony a6000
The Leica T (Typ 701) and the Sony a6000 side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.
Which to pick
Pick the Sony a6000 if you want more resolution, for cropping and big prints (24.3 against 16 MP) and more lenses made for it in this guide (403 against 185). On these specs the Leica T (Typ 701) 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.
