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 Sony RX100 VA and Panasonic LX10 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony RX100 VA has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 41 mm (4.02 x 2.28 x 1.61″) and weighs 299 g (0.66 lb / 10.55 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic LX10 has external dimensions of 106 x 60 x 42 mm (4.17 x 2.36 x 1.65″) and weighs 310 g (0.68 lb / 10.93 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony RX100 VA is 11g lighter than the Panasonic LX10 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 V(A) nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX10 (Lumix DMC-LX15) 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
Sony RX100 VA and Panasonic LX10's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Both cameras feature
Tilting screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels.
