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 Nikon P600 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). Nikon P600 has external dimensions of 125 x 85 x 107 mm (4.92 x 3.35 x 4.21″) and weighs 565 g (1.25 lb / 19.93 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic ZS80 and the Nikon P600. Panasonic ZS80 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 13mm narrower, 16mm shorter and 65mm thinner than Nikon P600.

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic ZS80 and Nikon P600.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic ZS80 is significantly lighter (238g ) than the Nikon P600 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 P600 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 P600'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, Nikon P600 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
