Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TS2, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the N100.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon N100's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic TS2's 2.7" screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Canon N100 LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Panasonic TS2 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to N100.
