Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic ZS70 is significantly lighter (172g ) than the Nikon P530 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix P530 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS70 (Lumix DC-TZ90) 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
Nikon P530 and Panasonic ZS70's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Panasonic ZS70 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 Nikon P530 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to ZS70.
