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 Sport 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 Sport has external dimensions of 147 x 58 x 23 mm (5.79 x 2.28 x 0.91″) and weighs 175 g (0.39 lb / 6.17 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica X-U and the Kodak Sport. Kodak Sport is 21mm shorter and 65mm thinner than Leica X-U but it is also 7mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Leica X-U and Kodak Sport.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica X-U and Kodak Sport.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak Sport is significantly lighter (460g ) than the Leica X-U which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica X-U's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Kodak Sport's 2.4" screen.
Moreover, 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. On the other hand, Kodak Sport has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to X-U.
