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 Panasonic TS3 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). Panasonic TS3 has external dimensions of 103 x 64 x 27 mm (4.06 x 2.52 x 1.06″) and weighs 197 g (0.43 lb / 6.95 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic TS3 is 21g lighter than the Leica V-Lux 20 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TS3, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the V-Lux 20.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica V-Lux 20's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic TS3's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
