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 and Olympus 1s side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic LX100 has external dimensions of 115 x 66 x 55 mm (4.53 x 2.6 x 2.17″) and weighs 393 g (0.87 lb / 13.86 oz) (including batteries). Olympus 1s has external dimensions of 116 x 87 x 57 mm (4.57 x 3.43 x 2.24″) and weighs 402 g (0.89 lb / 14.18 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic LX100 and the Olympus 1s. Panasonic LX100 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 1mm narrower, 21mm shorter and 2mm thinner than Olympus 1s.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic LX100 and Olympus 1s.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic LX100 and Olympus 1s.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic LX100 is 9g lighter than the Olympus 1s but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 nor Olympus Stylus 1s 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 LX100 and Olympus 1s's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Olympus 1s features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Panasonic LX100 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to 1s.
