Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic SZ1 is 2g lighter than the Panasonic SZ7 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ7 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ1 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic SZ7 and Panasonic SZ1'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.
