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 L10 and Panasonic G5 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic L10 has external dimensions of 127.1 x 73.9 x 66.9 mm and weighs 508 (including batteries). Panasonic G5 has external dimensions of 120 x 83 x 71 mm (4.72 x 3.27 x 2.8″) and weighs 396 g (0.87 lb / 13.97 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic L10 and the Panasonic G5. Panasonic L10 is 9mm shorter and 4mm thinner than Panasonic G5 but it is also 7mm wider. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Panasonic L10 has a built-in lens but Panasonic G5 doesn't. Once you put a lens on G5, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic G5 is significantly lighter (112g ) than the Panasonic L10 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on G5, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix L10 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 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 L10 and Panasonic G5's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Both cameras feature
Fully Articulating screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. Fully articulating screens are also useful for taking Selfies and video.
