Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2500 (Lumix DMC-FZ2000) nor Nikon Coolpix L840 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Panasonic FZ2500 and Nikon L840's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
