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 FZ100 and FujiFilm AV200 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic FZ100 has external dimensions of 124 x 82 x 92 mm (4.88 x 3.23 x 3.62″) and weighs 540 g (1.19 lb / 19.05 oz) (including batteries). FujiFilm AV200 has external dimensions of 93 x 60 x 28 mm (3.66 x 2.36 x 1.1″) and weighs 168 g (0.37 lb / 5.93 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
FujiFilm AV200 is significantly lighter (372g ) than the Panasonic FZ100 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 nor FujiFilm FinePix AV200 (FinePix AV205) 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 FZ100's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than FujiFilm AV200's 2.7" screen.
Moreover, Panasonic FZ100 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, FujiFilm AV200 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to FZ100.
