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 FujiFilm T200 and Panasonic SZ5 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. FujiFilm T200 has external dimensions of 97 x 57 x 28 mm (3.82 x 2.24 x 1.1″) and weighs 151 g (0.33 lb / 5.33 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic SZ5 has external dimensions of 104 x 58 x 21 mm (4.09 x 2.28 x 0.83″) and weighs 136 g (0.30 lb / 4.80 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the FujiFilm T200 and the Panasonic SZ5. FujiFilm T200 is 7mm narrower and 1mm shorter than Panasonic SZ5 but it is also 7mm thicker.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic SZ5 is 15g lighter than the FujiFilm T200 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the FujiFilm FinePix T200 (FinePix T205) nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ5 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic SZ5's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than FujiFilm T200's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
