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 V-Lux 20 and Kodak M590 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica V-Lux 20 has external dimensions of 103 x 60 x 33 mm (4.06 x 2.36 x 1.3″) and weighs 218 g (0.48 lb / 7.69 oz) (including batteries). Kodak M590 has external dimensions of 97 x 58 x 15 mm (3.82 x 2.28 x 0.59″) and weighs (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica V-Lux 20 and the Kodak M590. Kodak M590 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 6mm narrower, 2mm shorter and 18mm thinner than Leica V-Lux 20.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Leica V-Lux 20 and Kodak M590.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica V-Lux 20 and Kodak M590.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak M590 is 218g lighter than the Leica V-Lux 20 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica V-Lux 20 nor Kodak M590 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 Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica V-Lux 20's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Kodak M590's 2.5" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
