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 Fujifilm S1500 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). Fujifilm S1500 has external dimensions of 103 x 73 x 68 mm (4.06 x 2.87 x 2.68″) and weighs 345 g (0.76 lb / 12.17 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic LX100 and the Fujifilm S1500. Panasonic LX100 is 7mm shorter and 13mm thinner than Fujifilm S1500 but it is also 12mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic LX100 and Fujifilm S1500.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic LX100 and Fujifilm S1500.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm S1500 is 48g lighter than the Panasonic LX100 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 nor Fujifilm FinePix S1500 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's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm S1500's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
