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 M10 and Panasonic S1H side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica M10 has external dimensions of 139 x 39 x 80 mm (5.47 x 1.54 x 3.15″) and weighs 660 g (1.46 lb / 23.28 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic S1H has external dimensions of 151 x 114 x 110 mm (5.94 x 4.49 x 4.33″) and weighs 1052 g (2.32 lb / 37.11 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica M10 and the Panasonic S1H. Leica M10 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 12mm narrower, 75mm shorter and 30mm thinner than Panasonic S1H.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Leica M10 and Panasonic S1H.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica M10 and Panasonic S1H.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica M10 is significantly lighter (392g ) than the Panasonic S1H which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
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 M10 and Panasonic S1H have the same Full frame sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the S1H, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the M10.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic S1H's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Leica M10's 3″ screen.
Moreover, Panasonic S1H 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. On the other hand, Leica M10 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to S1H.
