Canon R6 vs Leica SL

Which one do I prefer better for everyday usage?

This post exists as a supplemental post to its parent article “Why I bought a Leica SL in 2023” . The full review and conclusion can be found there.

These types of tests are highly subjective but to keep our own bias consistent the “trials” will include certain constraints, considerations, and factors to inform a final verdict.

Constraints

1. The same lenses will be used on each camera when available.
2. If the comparison is between cameras of different sensor sizes and/or includes fixed lens cameras, the equivalent* focal lengths and lens family will be used.
3. Trials will be conducted on the same day and time.
4. Subjects and backgrounds will be the same (identical camera placement).
5. Adobe Lightroom will be the photo editing software and the same mild corrections/edits will be applied. Changes to white balance will be noted if necessary.

Considerations

Lenses Used
