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 Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G 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). Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G has external dimensions of 129 x 71 x 19 mm (5.08 x 2.8 x 0.75″) and weighs 305 g (0.67 lb / 10.76 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic FZ80 and the Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G. Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 1mm narrower, 23mm shorter and 100mm thinner than Panasonic FZ80.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic FZ80 and Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G is significantly lighter (311g ) than the Panasonic FZ80 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ80 (Lumix DMC-FZ82) nor Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G 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
Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G's 4.80" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic FZ80's 3 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
