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 Sony TX9 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). Sony TX9 has external dimensions of 98 x 60 x 18 mm (3.86 x 2.36 x 0.71″) and weighs 149 g (0.33 lb / 5.26 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony TX9 is significantly lighter (244g ) than the Panasonic LX100 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX9 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
Sony TX9's 3.50" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic LX100's 3 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
