Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic LZ20 is significantly lighter (188g ) than the Fujifilm HS35EXR which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ20 nor Fujifilm FinePix HS35EXR 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
Panasonic LZ20 and Fujifilm HS35EXR's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Fujifilm HS35EXR 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 LZ20 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HS35EXR.
