Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FZ80 is 44g lighter than the Sony HX400V but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ80 (Lumix DMC-FZ82) nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX400V provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic FZ80 and Sony HX400V's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3.00".
On the other hand, Sony HX400V features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over the head levels whereas the Panasonic FZ80 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HX400V.
