Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH25 (Lumix DMC-FS35) nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS70 (Lumix DC-TZ90) provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic ZS70's 3" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic FH25's 2.7" screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Panasonic ZS70 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, Panasonic FH25 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to ZS70.
