Just an interesting observation from the
Camera Size website when comparing the
Canon 5D Mark II vs. Leica M9 as an example:
- Canon EOS 5D Mark II is 9% (0.5in.) wider and 42% (1.3in.) taller than Leica M9.
- Canon EOS 5D Mark II is 102% (1.5in.) thicker than Leica M9.
- Canon EOS 5D Mark II [938 g] weights 60% (353 grams) more than Leica M9 [585 g] (*inc. batteries and memory card).
If you've never seen this site, check it out. It's pretty cool!
Of course, if you use the Canon L lenses... Some of them alone could eclipse the M9! In our
Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH review there's an interesting picture of just such a scenario showing the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM lens next to the M9/Summilux combo:
