LCD Screen Size and Features
Ricoh G900 and Leica X-U's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3.00".
On the other hand, Leica X-U 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. Ricoh G900's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to X-U.
