Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Casio EX-Z16 is significantly lighter (440g ) than the Leica V-Lux 4 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Casio Exilim EX-Z16 nor Leica V-Lux 4 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
Leica V-Lux 4's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Casio EX-Z16's screen.
Moreover, Leica V-Lux 4 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, Casio EX-Z16 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to V-Lux 4.
