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 A3200 IS 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 A3200 IS has external dimensions of 95 x 57 x 24 mm (3.74 x 2.24 x 0.94″) and weighs 149 g (0.33 lb / 5.26 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic LF1 and the Canon A3200 IS. Canon A3200 IS is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 8mm narrower, 5mm shorter and 4mm thinner than Panasonic LF1.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon A3200 IS is significantly lighter (43g ) than the Panasonic LF1 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 nor Canon PowerShot A3200 IS 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 A3200 IS's 2.7" screen.
