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 Panasonic FZ70 and Panasonic FZ80 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic FZ70 has external dimensions of 130 x 97 x 118 mm (5.12 x 3.82 x 4.65″) and weighs 606 g (1.34 lb / 21.38 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic FZ80 has external dimensions of 130 x 94 x 119 mm (5.12 x 3.7 x 4.69″) and weighs 616 g (1.36 lb / 21.73 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ70 and the Panasonic FZ80.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ70 and Panasonic FZ80.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic FZ70 and Panasonic FZ80.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FZ70 is 10g lighter than the Panasonic FZ80 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ80 (Lumix DMC-FZ82) 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 Bridge Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic FZ70 and Panasonic FZ80'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.
