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 Nikon A and Leica X2 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. 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). Leica X2 has external dimensions of 124 x 69 x 52 mm (4.88 x 2.72 x 2.05″) and weighs 345 g (0.76 lb / 12.17 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon A and the Leica X2. Nikon A is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 13mm narrower, 5mm shorter and 12mm thinner than Leica X2.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon A is 46g lighter than the Leica X2 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix A nor Leica X2 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
Nikon A's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Leica X2's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
