Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W380 nor Leica D-Lux Typ 109 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
Leica D-Lux Typ 109's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony W380's 2.7" screen.
