Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Panasonic FZ1000 II and Canon SX730 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic FZ1000 II has external dimensions of 136 x 97 x 132 mm (5.35 x 3.82 x 5.2″) and weighs 808 g (1.78 lb / 28.50 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX730 HS is significantly lighter (508g ) than the Panasonic FZ1000 II which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ1000 II nor Canon PowerShot SX730 HS provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
