Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX200 IS is significantly lighter (281g ) than the Panasonic FZ150 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 nor Canon PowerShot SX200 IS 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 FZ150 and Canon SX200 IS's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Panasonic FZ150 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. Canon SX200 IS's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to FZ150.
