Verdict
Pick the Canon Cinema EOS C500 II if you prioritize high-end video capabilities, including 5.9K RAW recording and cinema-focused features. The Leica M10 Monochrom stays the better choice if still photography—especially black-and-white—is your focus, thanks to its 40MP resolution and optimized monochrome sensor. Budget is nearly identical, so decide based on whether your work leans toward motion or stills. Neither offers stabilization, so factor in lens or external stabilization needs.
