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 Ricoh GR II and Leica V-Lux 4 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Ricoh GR II has external dimensions of 111.7 x 61 x 34.7 mm (4.61 x 3.27 x 1.38″) and weighs 251 g (0.55 lb / 8.85 oz) (including batteries). Leica V-Lux 4 has external dimensions of 125 x 87 x 110 mm (4.92 x 3.43 x 4.33″) and weighs 588 g (1.30 lb / 20.74 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh GR II and the Leica V-Lux 4. Ricoh GR II is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 13mm narrower, 26mm shorter and 75mm thinner than Leica V-Lux 4.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh GR II and Leica V-Lux 4.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh GR II and Leica V-Lux 4.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh GR II is significantly lighter (337g ) than the Leica V-Lux 4 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Ricoh GR II nor Leica V-Lux 4 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
Ricoh GR II and Leica V-Lux 4's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Leica V-Lux 4 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 GR II's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to V-Lux 4.
