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 LX100 II and Leica X-U side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic LX100 II has external dimensions of 115 x 66 x 64 mm (4.53 x 2.6 x 2.52″) and weighs 392 g (0.86 lb / 13.83 oz) (including batteries). Leica X-U has external dimensions of 140 x 79 x 88 mm (5.51 x 3.11 x 3.46″) and weighs 635 g (1.40 lb / 22.40 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic LX100 II and the Leica X-U. Panasonic LX100 II is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 25mm narrower, 13mm shorter and 24mm thinner than Leica X-U.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic LX100 II and Leica X-U.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic LX100 II and Leica X-U.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic LX100 II is significantly lighter (243g ) than the Leica X-U which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the X-U, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the LX100 II.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic LX100 II and Leica X-U's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Leica X-U 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. Panasonic LX100 II's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to X-U.
