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 LX10 and Sony RX100 VA side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic LX10 has external dimensions of 106 x 60 x 42 mm (4.17 x 2.36 x 1.65″) and weighs 310 g (0.68 lb / 10.93 oz) (including batteries). Sony RX100 VA has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 41 mm (4.02 x 2.28 x 1.61″) and weighs 299 g (0.66 lb / 10.55 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic LX10 and the Sony RX100 VA. Sony RX100 VA is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 4mm narrower, 2mm shorter and 1mm thinner than Panasonic LX10.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony RX100 VA is 11g lighter than the Panasonic LX10 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX10 (Lumix DMC-LX15) nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 V(A) 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 LX10 and Sony RX100 VA's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Both cameras feature
Tilting screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels.
