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 ZS80 and Canon G5 X side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic ZS80 has external dimensions of 112 x 69 x 42 mm (4.41 x 2.72 x 1.65″) and weighs 327 g (0.72 lb / 11.53 oz) (including batteries). Canon G5 X has external dimensions of 112 x 76 x 44 mm (4.41 x 2.99 x 1.73″) and weighs 353 g (0.78 lb / 12.45 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic ZS80 and the Canon G5 X. Panasonic ZS80 has the same height with Canon G5 X. On the other hand, with a width of 69mm, it is 7 narrower and also with a thickness of 42mm, it is 2mm thinner than Canon G5 X.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic ZS80 and Canon G5 X.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic ZS80 and Canon G5 X.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic ZS80 is 26g lighter than the Canon G5 X but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS80 (Lumix DC-TZ95) nor Canon PowerShot G5 X 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 ZS80 and Canon G5 X's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Panasonic ZS80 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Canon G5 X sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
