Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Panasonic LX10 and Panasonic G7 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic LX10 has external dimensions of 106 x 60 x 42 mm (4.17 x 2.36 x 1.65″) and weighs 310 g (0.68 lb / 10.93 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic G7 has external dimensions of 125 x 86 x 77 mm (4.92 x 3.39 x 3.03″) and weighs 410 g (0.90 lb / 14.46 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic LX10 and the Panasonic G7. Panasonic LX10 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 19mm narrower, 26mm shorter and 35mm thinner than Panasonic G7. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Panasonic LX10 has a built-in lens but Panasonic G7 doesn't. Once you put a lens on G7, its thickness will increase significantly.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic LX10 and Panasonic G7.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic LX10 is significantly lighter (100g ) than the Panasonic G7 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on G7, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX10 (Lumix DMC-LX15) nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic LX10 and Panasonic G7's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Panasonic LX10 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Panasonic G7 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
