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 5 and Samsung DV150F side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica V-Lux 5 has external dimensions of 137 x 97 x 132 mm (5.39 x 3.82 x 5.2″) and weighs 812 g (1.79 lb / 28.64 oz) (including batteries). Samsung DV150F has external dimensions of 96 x 55 x 18 mm (3.78 x 2.17 x 0.71″) and weighs 116 g (0.26 lb / 4.09 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica V-Lux 5 and the Samsung DV150F. Samsung DV150F is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 41mm narrower, 42mm shorter and 114mm thinner than Leica V-Lux 5.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Leica V-Lux 5 and Samsung DV150F.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica V-Lux 5 and Samsung DV150F.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung DV150F is significantly lighter (696g ) than the Leica V-Lux 5 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica V-Lux 5 nor Samsung DV150F 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 5's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Samsung DV150F's 2.7" screen.
Moreover, Leica V-Lux 5 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, Samsung DV150F has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to V-Lux 5.
