Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica D-Lux 6 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS7 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 FS7's 2.7" screen.
