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

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Olympus SZ-30MR nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus SZ-30MR and Panasonic FZ150's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3".
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. Olympus SZ-30MR's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to FZ150.
