Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX48 (Lumix DMC-FX40) nor Casio Exilim EX-ZR10 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Casio EX-ZR10's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic FX48's 2.5" screen.
