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 Nikon A 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). Nikon A has external dimensions of 111 x 64 x 40 mm (4.37 x 2.52 x 1.57″) and weighs 299 g (0.66 lb / 10.55 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica X-U and the Nikon A. Nikon A is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 29mm narrower, 15mm shorter and 48mm 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.
Nikon A is significantly lighter (336g ) 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 A.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica X-U and Nikon A'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. Nikon A's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to X-U.
