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 ZV-1 and Leica X Vario side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony ZV-1 has external dimensions of 105 x 60 x 44 mm (4.13 x 2.36 x 1.73″) and weighs 294 g (0.65 lb / 10.37 oz) (including batteries). Leica X Vario has external dimensions of 133 x 73 x 95 mm (5.24 x 2.87 x 3.74″) and weighs 680 g (1.50 lb / 23.99 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony ZV-1 and the Leica X Vario. Sony ZV-1 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 28mm narrower, 13mm shorter and 51mm thinner than Leica X Vario.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony ZV-1 and Leica X Vario.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony ZV-1 and Leica X Vario.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony ZV-1 is significantly lighter (386g ) than the Leica X Vario which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony ZV-1 nor Leica X Vario provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony ZV-1 and Leica X Vario's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony ZV-1 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. Leica X Vario's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to ZV-1.
