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 FujiFilm HS20 EXR 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). FujiFilm HS20 EXR has external dimensions of 131 x 91 x 126 mm (5.16 x 3.58 x 4.96″) and weighs 730 g (1.61 lb / 25.75 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic FZ300 and FujiFilm HS20 EXR.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FZ300 is 39g lighter than the FujiFilm HS20 EXR 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 HS20 EXR which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic FZ300 and FujiFilm HS20 EXR's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
FujiFilm HS20 EXR features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Panasonic FZ300 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
