Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica D-Lux 8 is 6g lighter than the Leica D-Lux 7 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica D-Lux 8 nor Leica D-Lux 7 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 8 and Leica D-Lux 7'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.
