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 Samsung TL225 and Leica V-Lux 40 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung TL225 has external dimensions of 100 x 60 x 19 mm (3.94 x 2.36 x 0.75″) and weighs 187 g (0.41 lb / 6.60 oz) (including batteries). Leica V-Lux 40 has external dimensions of 105 x 59 x 28 mm (4.13 x 2.32 x 1.1″) and weighs 210 g (0.46 lb / 7.41 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung TL225 and the Leica V-Lux 40. Samsung TL225 is 5mm narrower and 9mm thinner than Leica V-Lux 40 but it is also 1mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Samsung TL225 and Leica V-Lux 40.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Samsung TL225 and Leica V-Lux 40.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung TL225 is 23g lighter than the Leica V-Lux 40 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung TL225 (ST550) nor Leica V-Lux 40 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
Samsung TL225's 3.50" LCD screen is slightly larger than Leica V-Lux 40's 3 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
