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 AW130 and Panasonic LX10 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon AW130 has external dimensions of 110 x 66 x 27 mm (4.33 x 2.6 x 1.06″) and weighs 221 g (0.49 lb / 7.80 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic LX10 has external dimensions of 106 x 60 x 42 mm (4.17 x 2.36 x 1.65″) and weighs 310 g (0.68 lb / 10.93 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon AW130 and the Panasonic LX10. Panasonic LX10 is 4mm narrower and 6mm shorter than Nikon AW130 but it is also 15mm thicker.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon AW130 and Panasonic LX10.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon AW130 is significantly lighter (89g ) than the Panasonic LX10 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the AW130 has a big advantage over the LX10 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon AW130 and Panasonic LX10's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Panasonic LX10 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Nikon AW130 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to LX10.
