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 Kodak M590 and Leica V-Lux 3 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Kodak M590 has external dimensions of 97 x 58 x 15 mm (3.82 x 2.28 x 0.59″) and weighs (including batteries). Leica V-Lux 3 has external dimensions of 124 x 81 x 95 mm (4.88 x 3.19 x 3.74″) and weighs 540 g (1.19 lb / 19.05 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Kodak M590 and the Leica V-Lux 3. Kodak M590 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 27mm narrower, 23mm shorter and 80mm thinner than Leica V-Lux 3.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Kodak M590 and Leica V-Lux 3.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak M590 is 540g lighter than the Leica V-Lux 3 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Kodak M590 nor Leica V-Lux 3 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 3's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Kodak M590's 2.5" screen.
Moreover, Leica V-Lux 3 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, Kodak M590 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to V-Lux 3.
