Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TS6, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the P500.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon P500 and Panasonic TS6's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon P500 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 TS6 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to P500.
