Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FZ70 is 53g lighter than the Fujifilm SL1000 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Fujifilm FinePix SL1000 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 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
Fujifilm SL1000 and Panasonic FZ70's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Fujifilm SL1000 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 FZ70 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to SL1000.
