Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica V-Lux 40 is significantly lighter (310g ) than the Leica V-Lux 2 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica V-Lux 2 nor Leica V-Lux 40 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 V-Lux 2 and Leica V-Lux 40's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Leica V-Lux 2 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 V-Lux 40's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to V-Lux 2.
