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 Panasonic LX10 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). 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).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony ZV-1 and the Panasonic LX10.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony ZV-1 and Panasonic LX10.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony ZV-1 is 16g lighter than the Panasonic LX10 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony ZV-1 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 ZV-1 and Panasonic LX10's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Panasonic LX10 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Sony ZV-1 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
