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 3 and Olympus SP-600 UZ side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica V-Lux 3 has external dimensions of 124 x 81 x 95 mm (4.88 x 3.19 x 3.74″) and weighs 540 g (1.19 lb / 19.05 oz) (including batteries). Olympus SP-600 UZ has external dimensions of 110 x 90 x 91 mm (4.33 x 3.54 x 3.58″) and weighs 455 g (1.00 lb / 16.05 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica V-Lux 3 and the Olympus SP-600 UZ. Olympus SP-600 UZ is 14mm narrower and 4mm thinner than Leica V-Lux 3 but it is also 9mm taller.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus SP-600 UZ is significantly lighter (85g ) than the Leica V-Lux 3 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica V-Lux 3 nor Olympus SP-600 UZ 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 3's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus SP-600 UZ's 2.7" screen.
Moreover, Leica V-Lux 3 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. On the other hand, Olympus SP-600 UZ has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to V-Lux 3.
