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 SX730 HS and Panasonic ZS80 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon SX730 HS has external dimensions of 110 x 64 x 40 mm (4.33 x 2.52 x 1.57″) and weighs 300 g (0.66 lb / 10.58 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic ZS80 has external dimensions of 112 x 69 x 42 mm (4.41 x 2.72 x 1.65″) and weighs 327 g (0.72 lb / 11.53 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon SX730 HS and the Panasonic ZS80. Canon SX730 HS is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 2mm narrower, 5mm shorter and 2mm thinner than Panasonic ZS80.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon SX730 HS and Panasonic ZS80.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon SX730 HS and Panasonic ZS80.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX730 HS is 27g lighter than the Panasonic ZS80 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX730 HS nor Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS80 (Lumix DC-TZ95) provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Canon SX730 HS and Panasonic ZS80's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
