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 LZ30 and Sony H400 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic LZ30 has external dimensions of 124 x 84 x 92 mm (4.88 x 3.31 x 3.62″) and weighs 552 g (1.22 lb / 19.47 oz) (including batteries). Sony H400 has external dimensions of 130 x 95 x 122 mm (5.1 x 3.74 x 4.81″) and weighs 628 g (1.38 lb / 22.15 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic LZ30 is 76g lighter than the Sony H400 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ30 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H400 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 LZ30 and Sony H400's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
