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 X-U and Kodak M341 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica X-U has external dimensions of 140 x 79 x 88 mm (5.51 x 3.11 x 3.46″) and weighs 635 g (1.40 lb / 22.40 oz) (including batteries). Kodak M341 has external dimensions of 96 x 59 x 19 mm (3.78 x 2.32 x 0.75″) and weighs 135 g (0.30 lb / 4.76 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica X-U and the Kodak M341. Kodak M341 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 44mm narrower, 20mm shorter and 69mm thinner than Leica X-U.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak M341 is significantly lighter (500g ) than the Leica X-U which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the X-U, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the M341.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica X-U and Kodak M341's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Leica X-U 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. Kodak M341's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to X-U.
