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 Pentax WG-1 GPS and Leica V-Lux 3 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Pentax WG-1 GPS has external dimensions of 116 x 59 x 29 mm (4.55 x 2.3 x 1.12″) and weighs 167 g (0.37 lb / 5.89 oz) (including batteries). Leica V-Lux 3 has external dimensions of 124 x 81 x 95 mm (4.88 x 3.19 x 3.74″) and weighs 540 g (1.19 lb / 19.05 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Pentax WG-1 GPS and the Leica V-Lux 3. Pentax WG-1 GPS is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 8mm narrower, 22mm shorter and 66mm thinner than Leica V-Lux 3.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Pentax WG-1 GPS is significantly lighter (373g ) than the Leica V-Lux 3 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WG-1 GPS, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the V-Lux 3.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Leica V-Lux 3's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Pentax WG-1 GPS's 2.7 screen.
Moreover, Leica V-Lux 3 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Pentax WG-1 GPS has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to V-Lux 3.
