Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic ZS99 is significantly lighter (358g ) than the Fujifilm S1 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the S1 has a big advantage over the ZS99 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Fujifilm S1 and Panasonic ZS99's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Panasonic ZS99 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Fujifilm S1 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
