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 TS1 and Nikon P7800 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic TS1 has external dimensions of 98 x 63 x 23 mm (3.86 x 2.48 x 0.91″) and weighs 189 g (0.42 lb / 6.67 oz) (including batteries). Nikon P7800 has external dimensions of 119 x 78 x 50 mm (4.69 x 3.07 x 1.97″) and weighs 399 g (0.88 lb / 14.07 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic TS1 and the Nikon P7800. Panasonic TS1 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 21mm narrower, 15mm shorter and 27mm thinner than Nikon P7800.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic TS1 and Nikon P7800.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic TS1 and Nikon P7800.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic TS1 is significantly lighter (210g ) than the Nikon P7800 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TS1, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the P7800.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon P7800's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic TS1's 2.7" screen.
Moreover, Nikon P7800 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Panasonic TS1 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P7800.
