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 LF1 and Canon A1400 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic LF1 has external dimensions of 103 x 62 x 28 mm (4.06 x 2.44 x 1.1″) and weighs 192 g (0.42 lb / 6.77 oz) (including batteries). Canon A1400 has external dimensions of 95 x 62 x 30 mm (3.74 x 2.44 x 1.18″) and weighs 174 g (0.38 lb / 6.14 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic LF1 and the Canon A1400.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic LF1 and Canon A1400.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic LF1 and Canon A1400.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon A1400 is 18g lighter than the Panasonic LF1 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 nor Canon PowerShot A1400 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 LF1's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon A1400's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
