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 Panasonic FZ200 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). Panasonic FZ200 has external dimensions of 125 x 87 x 110 mm (4.92 x 3.43 x 4.33″) and weighs 588 g (1.30 lb / 20.74 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica V-Lux 3 and the Panasonic FZ200. Leica V-Lux 3 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 1mm narrower, 6mm shorter and 15mm thinner than Panasonic FZ200.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica V-Lux 3 is 48g lighter than the Panasonic FZ200 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica V-Lux 3 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 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 and Panasonic FZ200'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.
