Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon L610 is significantly lighter (87g ) than the Panasonic ZS80 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS80 (Lumix DC-TZ95) nor Nikon Coolpix L610 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 Nikon L610's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Panasonic ZS80 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 Nikon L610 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to ZS80.
