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 D-LUX 5 and Leica D-LUX 4 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica D-LUX 5 has external dimensions of 110 x 66 x 43 mm (4.33 x 2.6 x 1.69″) and weighs 271 g (0.60 lb / 9.56 oz) (including batteries). Leica D-LUX 4 has external dimensions of 109 x 56 x 27 mm (4.29 x 2.2 x 1.06?) and weighs 248 g (0.55 lb / 8.75 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica D-LUX 5 and the Leica D-LUX 4. Leica D-LUX 4 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 1mm narrower, 10mm shorter and 16mm thinner than Leica D-LUX 5.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica D-LUX 4 is 6g lighter than the Leica D-LUX 5 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica D-LUX 5 nor Leica D-LUX 4 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 D-LUX 5 and Leica D-LUX 4'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.
