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 4 and Panasonic TS4 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica V-Lux 4 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). Panasonic TS4 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).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica V-Lux 4 and the Panasonic TS4. Panasonic TS4 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 22mm narrower, 23mm shorter and 83mm thinner than Leica V-Lux 4.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Leica V-Lux 4 and Panasonic TS4.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica V-Lux 4 and Panasonic TS4.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic TS4 is significantly lighter (391g ) than the Leica V-Lux 4 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TS4, 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 4.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica V-Lux 4's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic TS4's 2.7" screen.
Moreover, Leica V-Lux 4 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, Panasonic TS4 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to V-Lux 4.
