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 SZ8 and Sony WX350 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic SZ8 has external dimensions of 100 x 60 x 27 mm (3.94 x 2.36 x 1.06″) and weighs 159 g (0.35 lb / 5.61 oz) (including batteries). Sony WX350 has external dimensions of 96 x 55 x 26 mm (3.78 x 2.16 x 1.01″) and weighs 164 g (0.30 lb / 4.83 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic SZ8 and the Sony WX350. Sony WX350 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 4mm narrower, 5mm shorter and 1mm thinner than Panasonic SZ8.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic SZ8 and Sony WX350.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic SZ8 and Sony WX350.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic SZ8 is 5g lighter than the Sony WX350 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ8 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX350 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 SZ8 and Sony WX350'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.
