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 ZS300 and Panasonic LX10 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic ZS300 has external dimensions of 111 x 66 x 45 mm (4.37 x 2.6 x 1.77″) and weighs 337 g (0.74 lb / 11.89 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic LX10 has external dimensions of 106 x 60 x 42 mm (4.17 x 2.36 x 1.65″) and weighs 310 g (0.68 lb / 10.93 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic ZS300 and the Panasonic LX10. Panasonic LX10 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 5mm narrower, 6mm shorter and 3mm thinner than Panasonic ZS300.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic LX10 is 27g lighter than the Panasonic ZS300 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS300 (Lumix DC-TZ300) nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX10 (Lumix DMC-LX15) 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
Panasonic ZS300 and Panasonic LX10's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Panasonic LX10 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 Panasonic ZS300 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to LX10.
