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 SX620 HS and Panasonic ZS70 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon SX620 HS has external dimensions of 97 x 57 x 28 mm (3.81 x 2.24 x 1.1″) and weighs 182 g (0.40 lb / 6.42 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon SX620 HS and Panasonic ZS70.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX620 HS is significantly lighter (140g ) than the Panasonic ZS70 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX620 HS nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS70 (Lumix DC-TZ90) 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 SX620 HS and Panasonic ZS70's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Panasonic ZS70 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Canon SX620 HS has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to ZS70.
