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 Kodak S-1 and Panasonic G3 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Kodak S-1 has external dimensions of 116 x 68 x 36 mm (4.55 x 2.69 x 1.4″) and weighs 290 g (0.64 lb / 10.23 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic G3 has external dimensions of 115 x 84 x 47 mm (4.53 x 3.31 x 1.85″) and weighs 336 g (0.74 lb / 11.85 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Kodak S-1 and the Panasonic G3. Kodak S-1 is 16mm shorter and 11mm thinner than Panasonic G3 but it is also 1mm wider.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Kodak S-1 and Panasonic G3.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak S-1 is 46g lighter than the Panasonic G3 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Kodak S-1 and Panasonic G3 have the same Micro Four Thirds lens mount and Four Thirds sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Kodak Pixpro S-1 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 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 S-1 and Panasonic G3's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Kodak S-1 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Panasonic G3 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
