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 FZ80 and Kodak Astro AZ651 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. 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). Kodak Astro AZ651 has external dimensions of 125 x 114 x 89 mm and weighs 567 g (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ80 and the Kodak Astro AZ651. Kodak Astro AZ651 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 130mm narrower, 94mm shorter and 119mm thinner than Panasonic FZ80.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic FZ80 and Kodak Astro AZ651.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak Astro AZ651 is 49g lighter than the Panasonic FZ80 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ80 (Lumix DMC-FZ82) nor Kodak Pixpro Astro Zoom AZ651 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
Panasonic FZ80 and Kodak Astro AZ651's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Kodak Astro AZ651 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. Panasonic FZ80's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to Astro AZ651.
