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 Panasonic FZ1000 II and Leica Q-P side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic FZ1000 II has external dimensions of 136 x 97 x 132 mm (5.35 x 3.82 x 5.2″) and weighs 808 g (1.78 lb / 28.50 oz) (including batteries). Leica Q-P has external dimensions of 130 x 80 x 93 mm (5.12 x 3.15 x 3.66″) and weighs 640 g (1.41 lb / 22.58 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ1000 II and the Leica Q-P. Leica Q-P is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 6mm narrower, 17mm shorter and 39mm thinner than Panasonic FZ1000 II.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ1000 II and Leica Q-P.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic FZ1000 II and Leica Q-P.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Leica Q-P is significantly lighter (168g ) than the Panasonic FZ1000 II which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ1000 II nor Leica Q-P 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
Panasonic FZ1000 II and Leica Q-P's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Panasonic FZ1000 II 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. Leica Q-P's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to FZ1000 II.
