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 Nikon AW130 and Panasonic ZS50 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon AW130 has external dimensions of 110 x 66 x 27 mm (4.33 x 2.6 x 1.06″) and weighs 221 g (0.49 lb / 7.80 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic ZS50 has external dimensions of 111 x 65 x 34 mm (4.37 x 2.56 x 1.34″) and weighs 243 g (0.54 lb / 8.57 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon AW130 and the Panasonic ZS50. Nikon AW130 is 1mm narrower and 7mm thinner than Panasonic ZS50 but it is also 1mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon AW130 and Panasonic ZS50.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon AW130 and Panasonic ZS50.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon AW130 is 22g lighter than the Panasonic ZS50 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the AW130 has a big advantage over the ZS50 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon AW130 and Panasonic ZS50's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
