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 7 and Leica X2 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica D-Lux 7 has external dimensions of 118 x 66 x 64 mm (4.65 x 2.6 x 2.52″) and weighs 403 g (0.89 lb / 14.22 oz) (including batteries). Leica X2 has external dimensions of 124 x 69 x 52 mm (4.88 x 2.72 x 2.05″) and weighs 345 g (0.76 lb / 12.17 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica D-Lux 7 and the Leica X2. Leica D-Lux 7 is 6mm narrower and 3mm shorter than Leica X2 but it is also 12mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Leica D-Lux 7 and Leica X2.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica D-Lux 7 and Leica X2.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica X2 is significantly lighter (58g ) than the Leica D-Lux 7 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica D-Lux 7 nor Leica X2 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 7's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Leica X2's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
