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 6 and Panasonic FH6 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica D-Lux 6 has external dimensions of 111 x 68 x 46 mm (4.37 x 2.68 x 1.81″) and weighs 298 g (0.66 lb / 10.51 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic FH6 has external dimensions of 96 x 56 x 20 mm (3.78 x 2.2 x 0.79″) and weighs 119 g (0.26 lb / 4.20 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica D-Lux 6 and the Panasonic FH6. Panasonic FH6 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 15mm narrower, 12mm shorter and 26mm thinner than Leica D-Lux 6.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Leica D-Lux 6 and Panasonic FH6.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica D-Lux 6 and Panasonic FH6.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FH6 is significantly lighter (179g ) than the Leica D-Lux 6 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica D-Lux 6 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH6 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 D-Lux 6's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic FH6's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
