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 Panasonic FZ60 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). Panasonic FZ60 has external dimensions of 120 x 81 x 92 mm (4.72 x 3.19 x 3.62″) and weighs 493 g (1.09 lb / 17.39 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ300 and the Panasonic FZ60. Panasonic FZ60 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 12mm narrower, 11mm shorter and 25mm thinner than Panasonic FZ300.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ300 and Panasonic FZ60.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic FZ300 and Panasonic FZ60.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FZ60 is significantly lighter (198g ) than the Panasonic FZ300 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the FZ300 has a big advantage over the FZ60 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic FZ300 and Panasonic FZ60's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Panasonic FZ300 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. Panasonic FZ60's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to FZ300.
