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 TL and Panasonic FZ1000 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica TL has external dimensions of 134 x 69 x 33 mm (5.28 x 2.72 x 1.3″) and weighs 384 g (0.85 lb / 13.55 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic FZ1000 has external dimensions of 137 x 99 x 131 mm (5.39 x 3.9 x 5.16″) and weighs 831 g (1.83 lb / 29.31 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica TL and the Panasonic FZ1000. Leica TL is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 3mm narrower, 30mm shorter and 98mm thinner than Panasonic FZ1000. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Panasonic FZ1000 has a built-in lens but Leica TL doesn't. Once you put a lens on TL, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Leica TL and Panasonic FZ1000.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica TL and Panasonic FZ1000.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica TL is significantly lighter (447g ) than the Panasonic FZ1000 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on TL, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica TL nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
