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 Q-P and Panasonic LX10 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica Q-P has external dimensions of 130 x 80 x 93 mm (5.12 x 3.15 x 3.66″) and weighs 640 g (1.41 lb / 22.58 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic LX10 has external dimensions of 106 x 60 x 42 mm (4.17 x 2.36 x 1.65″) and weighs 310 g (0.68 lb / 10.93 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica Q-P and the Panasonic LX10. Panasonic LX10 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 24mm narrower, 20mm shorter and 51mm thinner than Leica Q-P.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica Q-P and Panasonic LX10.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic LX10 is significantly lighter (330g ) than the Leica Q-P which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica Q-P nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX10 (Lumix DMC-LX15) 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 Q-P and Panasonic LX10's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Panasonic LX10 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Leica Q-P has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to LX10.
