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 FZ35 and Kodak Z990 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic FZ35 has external dimensions of 118 x 76 x 89 mm (4.65 x 2.99 x 3.5″) and weighs 397 g (0.88 lb / 14.00 oz) (including batteries). Kodak Z990 has external dimensions of 124 x 91 x 105 mm (4.88 x 3.58 x 4.13″) and weighs 445 g (0.98 lb / 15.70 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ35 and the Kodak Z990. Panasonic FZ35 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 6mm narrower, 15mm shorter and 16mm thinner than Kodak Z990.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FZ35 is 48g lighter than the Kodak Z990 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 (Lumix DMC-FZ38) nor Kodak EasyShare Z990 (EasyShare Max) provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Kodak Z990's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic FZ35's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
