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 FZ150 and Ricoh G700SE side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic FZ150 has external dimensions of 124 x 82 x 92 mm (4.88 x 3.23 x 3.62″) and weighs 528 g (1.16 lb / 18.62 oz) (including batteries). Ricoh G700SE has external dimensions of 117 x 68 x 32 mm (4.61 x 2.68 x 1.26″) and weighs 307 g (0.68 lb / 10.83 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ150 and the Ricoh G700SE. Ricoh G700SE is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 7mm narrower, 14mm shorter and 60mm thinner than Panasonic FZ150.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh G700SE is significantly lighter (221g ) than the Panasonic FZ150 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the G700SE, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the FZ150.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic FZ150 and Ricoh G700SE'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. Ricoh G700SE's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to FZ150.
