Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic TS5 is significantly lighter (341g ) than the Nikon P510 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.

Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TS5, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the P510.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon P510 and Panasonic TS5's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon P510 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 TS5 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to P510.
