Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus 7010 is 5g lighter than the Panasonic FX48 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX48 (Lumix DMC-FX40) nor Olympus Stylus 7010 (mju 7010) 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
Olympus 7010's 2.7 LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic FX48's 2.5" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
