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 Vario and Ricoh GR side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica X Vario has external dimensions of 133 x 73 x 95 mm (5.24 x 2.87 x 3.74″) and weighs 680 g (1.50 lb / 23.99 oz) (including batteries). Ricoh GR has external dimensions of 117 x 61 x 35 mm (4.61 x 2.4 x 1.38″) and weighs 245 g (0.54 lb / 8.64 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica X Vario and the Ricoh GR. Ricoh GR is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 16mm narrower, 12mm shorter and 60mm thinner than Leica X Vario.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Leica X Vario and Ricoh GR.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica X Vario and Ricoh GR.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh GR is significantly lighter (435g ) than the Leica X Vario which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Leica X Vario nor Ricoh GR provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica X Vario and Ricoh GR's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
