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 FZ80 and Fujifilm S1 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. 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). Fujifilm S1 has external dimensions of 133 x 91 x 110 mm (5.24 x 3.58 x 4.33″) and weighs 680 g (1.50 lb / 23.99 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ80 and the Fujifilm S1. Fujifilm S1 is 3mm shorter and 9mm thinner than Panasonic FZ80 but it is also 3mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ80 and Fujifilm S1.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic FZ80 and Fujifilm S1.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FZ80 is 64g lighter than the Fujifilm S1 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the S1, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the FZ80.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic FZ80 and Fujifilm S1's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Fujifilm S1 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 S1.
