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 LX100 and Canon XC10 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic LX100 has external dimensions of 115 x 66 x 55 mm (4.53 x 2.6 x 2.17″) and weighs 393 g (0.87 lb / 13.86 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic LX100 is significantly lighter (647g ) than the Canon XC10 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 nor Canon XC10 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 LX100 and Canon XC10's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon XC10 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Panasonic LX100 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to XC10.
