Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica V-Lux 2 is 20g lighter than the Panasonic FZ100 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica V-Lux 2 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Bridge Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica V-Lux 2 and Panasonic FZ100's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Both cameras feature
Fully Articulating screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. Fully articulating screens are also useful for taking Selfies and video.
