Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ20 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 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 LZ20 and Panasonic FZ1000's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3".
