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 S2 and Panasonic S3 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic S2 has external dimensions of 98 x 57 x 21 mm (3.86 x 2.24 x 0.83″) and weighs 112 g (0.25 lb / 3.95 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic S3 has external dimensions of 99 x 59 x 21 mm (3.9 x 2.32 x 0.83″) and weighs 117 g (0.26 lb / 4.13 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic S2 and the Panasonic S3.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic S2 and Panasonic S3.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic S2 and Panasonic S3.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic S2 is 5g lighter than the Panasonic S3 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-S2 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-S3 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 S2 and Panasonic S3's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 2.70 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
