Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS nor Panasonic Lumix DC-LX100 II 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 SX740 HS and Panasonic LX100 II's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon SX740 HS 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 Panasonic LX100 II has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to SX740 HS.
