Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon W300 and Panasonic FZ150.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon W300 is significantly lighter (297g ) than the Panasonic FZ150 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the W300, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the FZ150.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon W300 and Panasonic FZ150's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Panasonic FZ150 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Nikon W300's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to FZ150.
