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 Panasonic FX700 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). Panasonic FX700 has external dimensions of 104 x 56 x 25 mm (4.09 x 2.2 x 0.98″) and weighs 176 g (0.39 lb / 6.21 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic LF1 and the Panasonic FX700. Panasonic FX700 is 6mm shorter and 3mm thinner than Panasonic LF1 but it is also 1mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic LF1 and Panasonic FX700.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic LF1 and Panasonic FX700.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FX700 is 16g 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 Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX700 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 and Panasonic FX700's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
