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 Panasonic TS5 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). Panasonic TS5 has external dimensions of 110 x 67 x 29 mm (4.33 x 2.64 x 1.14″) and weighs 214 g (0.47 lb / 7.55 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic TS1 and the Panasonic TS5. Panasonic TS1 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 12mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 6mm thinner than Panasonic TS5.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic TS1 and Panasonic TS5.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic TS1 and Panasonic TS5.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic TS1 is 25g lighter than the Panasonic TS5 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

Panasonic TS5's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic TS1's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
