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 S1H and Nikon Z5 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic S1H has external dimensions of 151 x 114 x 110 mm (5.94 x 4.49 x 4.33″) and weighs 1052 g (2.32 lb / 37.11 oz) (including batteries). Nikon Z5 has external dimensions of 134 x 101 x 70 mm (5.28 x 3.98 x 2.76″) and weighs 675 g (1.49 lb / 23.81 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic S1H and the Nikon Z5. Nikon Z5 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 17mm narrower, 13mm shorter and 40mm thinner than Panasonic S1H.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic S1H and Nikon Z5.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic S1H and Nikon Z5.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon Z5 is significantly lighter (377g ) than the Panasonic S1H which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Panasonic S1H and Nikon Z5 have the same Full frame sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
Weather Sealing
Both the S1H and the Z5 have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic S1H and Nikon Z5's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.20 inches.
Nikon Z5 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Panasonic S1H sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
