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 Leica C-Lux and Leica X Vario side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica C-Lux has external dimensions of 113 x 67 x 46 mm (4.45 x 2.64 x 1.81″) and weighs 340 g (0.75 lb / 11.99 oz) (including batteries). Leica X Vario has external dimensions of 133 x 73 x 95 mm (5.24 x 2.87 x 3.74″) and weighs 680 g (1.50 lb / 23.99 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica C-Lux and the Leica X Vario. Leica C-Lux is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 20mm narrower, 6mm shorter and 49mm thinner than Leica X Vario.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Leica C-Lux and Leica X Vario.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica C-Lux and Leica X Vario.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica C-Lux is significantly lighter (340g ) than the Leica X Vario which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica C-Lux nor Leica X Vario provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica C-Lux and Leica X Vario's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
