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 SX700 HS and Panasonic ZS60 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon SX700 HS has external dimensions of 113 x 66 x 35 mm (4.45 x 2.6 x 1.38″) and weighs 269 g (0.59 lb / 9.49 oz) (including batteries). 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).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon SX700 HS and the Panasonic ZS60. Panasonic ZS60 is 1mm narrower and 2mm shorter than Canon SX700 HS but it is also 3mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon SX700 HS and Panasonic ZS60.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon SX700 HS and Panasonic ZS60.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX700 HS is 13g lighter than the Panasonic ZS60 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX700 HS nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60 (Lumix DMC-TZ80) 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 SX700 HS and Panasonic ZS60'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.
