Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak M5370 is significantly lighter (90g ) than the Panasonic ZS40 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Kodak Easyshare M5370 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS40 (Lumix DMC-TZ60) 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
Kodak M5370 and Panasonic ZS40's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
