Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.

Panasonic FZ80 has external dimensions of 130 x 94 x 119 mm (5.12 x 3.7 x 4.69″) and weighs 616 g (1.36 lb / 21.73 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FZ80 is 34g lighter than the Canon SX60 HS but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ80 (Lumix DMC-FZ82) nor Canon PowerShot SX60 HS provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Bridge Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic FZ80 and Canon SX60 HS's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3.00".
On the other hand, Canon SX60 HS 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 FZ80's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to SX60 HS.
