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 Olympus SP-590 UZ 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). Olympus SP-590 UZ has external dimensions of 116 x 84 x 81 mm (4.57 x 3.31 x 3.19″) and weighs 413 g (0.91 lb / 14.57 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic LX100 and the Olympus SP-590 UZ. Panasonic LX100 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 1mm narrower, 18mm shorter and 26mm thinner than Olympus SP-590 UZ.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic LX100 and Olympus SP-590 UZ.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic LX100 is 20g lighter than the Olympus SP-590 UZ but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the SP-590 UZ, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the LX100.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic LX100's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus SP-590 UZ's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
