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 TS2 and Canon SX50 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic TS2 has external dimensions of 99 x 63 x 24 mm (3.9 x 2.48 x 0.94″) and weighs 188 g (0.41 lb / 6.63 oz) (including batteries). Canon SX50 HS has external dimensions of 123 x 87 x 106 mm (4.84 x 3.43 x 4.17″) and weighs 595 g (1.31 lb / 20.99 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic TS2 and the Canon SX50 HS. Panasonic TS2 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 24mm narrower, 24mm shorter and 82mm thinner than Canon SX50 HS.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic TS2 and Canon SX50 HS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic TS2 and Canon SX50 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic TS2 is significantly lighter (407g ) than the Canon SX50 HS which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
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 SX50 HS.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon SX50 HS's 2.80" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic TS2's 2.7" screen.
Moreover, Canon SX50 HS 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 TS2 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to SX50 HS.
