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 Canon 700D and Casio EX-ZS5 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon 700D has external dimensions of 133 x 100 x 79 mm (5.24 x 3.94 x 3.11″) and weighs 580 g (1.28 lb / 20.46 oz) (including batteries). Casio EX-ZS5 has external dimensions of 103 x 59 x 20 mm (4.06 x 2.32 x 0.79″) and weighs (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon 700D and the Casio EX-ZS5. Casio EX-ZS5 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 30mm narrower, 41mm shorter and 59mm thinner than Canon 700D. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Casio EX-ZS5 has a built-in lens but Canon 700D doesn't. Once you put a lens on 700D, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon 700D and Casio EX-ZS5.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Casio EX-ZS5 is 580g lighter than the Canon 700D but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on 700D, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon EOS 700D (EOS Rebel T5i) nor Casio Exilim EX-ZS5 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
Canon 700D and Casio EX-ZS5's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon 700D 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. Casio EX-ZS5's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to 700D.
