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 significantly lighter (111g ) than the Panasonic L10 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica D-Lux 8 nor Panasonic Lumix L10 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 8 and Panasonic L10's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Panasonic L10 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Leica D-Lux 8's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to L10.
