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 Olympus E-M10 IV and Leica D-Lux 8 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus E-M10 IV has external dimensions of 122 x 84 x 49 mm (4.8 x 3.31 x 1.93″) and weighs 383 g (0.84 lb / 13.51 oz) (including batteries). Leica D-Lux 8 has external dimensions of 120 x 69 x 62 mm (4.7 x 2.7 x 2.4″) and weighs 397 g (0.9 lb) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus E-M10 IV and the Leica D-Lux 8. Leica D-Lux 8 is 2mm narrower and 15mm shorter than Olympus E-M10 IV but it is also 13mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Leica D-Lux 8 has a built-in lens but Olympus E-M10 IV doesn't. Once you put a lens on E-M10 IV, its thickness will increase significantly.

Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus E-M10 IV and Leica D-Lux 8.

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus E-M10 IV and Leica D-Lux 8.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus E-M10 IV is 14g lighter than the Leica D-Lux 8 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on E-M10 IV, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus OM-D E-M10 IV nor Leica D-Lux 8 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus E-M10 IV and Leica D-Lux 8's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Olympus E-M10 IV 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 Leica D-Lux 8 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to E-M10 IV.
