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 Canon G1 X III and Leica TL2 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon G1 X III has external dimensions of 115 x 78 x 51 mm (4.53 x 3.07 x 2.01″) and weighs 399 g (0.88 lb / 14.07 oz) (including batteries). Leica TL2 has external dimensions of 134 x 69 x 33 mm (5.28 x 2.72 x 1.3″) and weighs 399 g (0.88 lb / 14.07 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon G1 X III and the Leica TL2. Leica TL2 is 9mm shorter and 18mm thinner than Canon G1 X III but it is also 19mm wider. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon G1 X III has a built-in lens but Leica TL2 doesn't. Once you put a lens on , its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon G1 X III and Leica TL2 have exactly the same weight of 399g.
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 , the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the G1 X III has a big advantage over the which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica TL2's 3.70" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon G1 X III's 3 screen.
On the other hand, Canon G1 X III sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Leica TL2 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G1 X III.
