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 ZS60 and Canon SX400 IS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic ZS60 has external dimensions of 112 x 64 x 38 mm (4.41 x 2.52 x 1.5″) and weighs 282 g (0.62 lb / 9.95 oz) (including batteries). Canon SX400 IS has external dimensions of 104 x 69 x 80 mm (4.09 x 2.72 x 3.15″) and weighs 313 g (0.69 lb / 11.04 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic ZS60 and the Canon SX400 IS. Panasonic ZS60 is 5mm shorter and 42mm thinner than Canon SX400 IS but it is also 8mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic ZS60 and Canon SX400 IS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic ZS60 and Canon SX400 IS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic ZS60 is 31g lighter than the Canon SX400 IS but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60 (Lumix DMC-TZ80) nor Canon PowerShot SX400 IS 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
Panasonic ZS60 and Canon SX400 IS'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.
