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 M-D Typ 262 and Leica M10-D side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica M-D Typ 262 has external dimensions of 139 x 80 x 42 mm (5.47 x 3.15 x 1.65″) and weighs 600 g (1.32 lb / 23.99 oz) (including batteries). Leica M10-D has external dimensions of 139 x 80 x 39 mm (5.47 x 3.15x 1.54″ ) and weighs 660 g (1.46 lb / 23.28 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica M-D Typ 262 and the Leica M10-D. Leica M-D Typ 262 has the same height and width with Leica M10-D. On the other hand, with a thickness of 42mm, it is 3mm thicker.

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica M-D Typ 262 and Leica M10-D.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica M-D Typ 262 is 60g lighter than the Leica M10-D but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Leica M-D Typ 262 and Leica M10-D have the same Leica M lens mount and Full frame sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the M10-D, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the M-D Typ 262.
