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 Nikon S9300 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). Nikon S9300 has external dimensions of 109 x 62 x 31 mm (4.29 x 2.44 x 1.22″) and weighs 215 g (0.47 lb / 7.58 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic TS2 and the Nikon S9300. Panasonic TS2 is 10mm narrower and 7mm thinner than Nikon S9300 but it is also 1mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic TS2 and Nikon S9300.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic TS2 and Nikon S9300.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic TS2 is 27g lighter than the Nikon S9300 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
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 S9300.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon S9300's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic TS2's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
