Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TF1, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the ZS80.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic ZS80's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony TF1's 2.7" screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Panasonic ZS80 LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Sony TF1 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to ZS80.
