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 FZ300 and Canon SX60 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic FZ300 has external dimensions of 132 x 92 x 117 mm (5.2 x 3.62 x 4.61″) and weighs 691 g (including batteries). Canon SX60 HS has external dimensions of 128 x 93 x 114 mm (5.04 x 3.66 x 4.49″) and weighs 650 g (1.43 lb / 22.93 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ300 and the Canon SX60 HS. Canon SX60 HS is 4mm narrower and 3mm thinner than Panasonic FZ300 but it is also 1mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ300 and Canon SX60 HS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic FZ300 and Canon SX60 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX60 HS is 41g lighter than the Panasonic FZ300 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the FZ300 has a big advantage over the SX60 HS which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic FZ300 and Canon SX60 HS's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Both cameras feature
Fully Articulating screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. Fully articulating screens are also useful for taking Selfies and video.
