I read this thread with interest, thanks. For the last four years I have been a happy A7Rx photographer regularly visiting the Sony thread. I came from decades with Leica in search of better AF, IBIS etc. But I still get the itch some times to come back to Leica again. Except this time the X2D2 has arrived. I am wondering if that camera with, say, a 38V or the 35-100 zoom might be a better choice than an SL3 with 28mm and 24-70, offering better IQ and usability at similar entry price, weight and form factor. Am I delusional? ...Show more →
There's that word "better" again ... which always needs to have a "what", wrt to "better at what"?
As to being delusional ... no, not at all. The simple matter is that Hassy and Leica both bring good stuff to the table. They both cost a lot ... and by that I mean size, weight, speed, foregoing some degree of AF performance (vs. SoCaNikon, etc.) in order to get what they do, the way they do.
In that regard, any decision between the two is very reasonable (imo) for someone to consider ... and certainly not delusional.
At this level, it isn't a matter of "better", it's a matter of what you like to use. Whether that is the color science, or the ergonomics, or the workflow, or the preference for a leaf shutter vs. focal plane shutter, or any of the other aspects that differ, BOTH brands are brining very good stuff to the table. Hassy does bring that last % of color precision 3500/0 = 3500/0 and that last % of 16 bit vs. 14 bit capability. Personally, I enjoy (key word = enjoy, not the same as require) that level of last %.
Meanwhile, I also enjoy mounting my M glass on my SL body, for a different shooting experience that mechanical, tactile lenses offer (as well as my long glass, etc.)
At the end of the day, it (imo) isn't a matter of one camera or camera system being "better" than the other. It is a matter of figuring out which one you enjoy using better, or is a better fit for you.
The tricky part is that it's kinda like trying to figure out if you like kissing the redhead more than the blonde. Looking at pictures of them and they can both be very attractive. But, until you get the opportunity to actually experience them for yourself ... you CANNOT know which one you enjoy "better" than the other. 
Simply put ... you gotta get your hands on them to find out which is "better" for you.
No, you're not delusional, they are both very attractive.
