I decide on the camera based on the available lenses. Leica provides the fewest options when compared to Nikon, Canon, or Sony. For lighter weight check out the OM-1 cameras and Olympus MFT lenses which cost half as much and weigh half as much.
Autofocus is important to me and the best mirrorless autofocus are found with Nikon, Sony, Canon, and OM-1 cameras. These have subject detection that works exceedingly well.
If you know the difference between Nikon binoculars and those made by Leica (or Swarovski and Zeiss), well if there was that kind of difference in the sensors and CPU etc. inside of a Leica camera body versus a Nikon, then you’d have a superior camera system. But it isn’t so. I’d buy the Leica binoculars or spotting scope any day of the week, but not the camera system. Just my opinion, it’s doubtful it’s worth .02!

I bought the Leica lenses. The fact I like the bodies as well is just a bonus.
