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 Panasonic FX700 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). Panasonic FX700 has external dimensions of 104 x 56 x 25 mm (4.09 x 2.2 x 0.98″) and weighs 176 g (0.39 lb / 6.21 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic TS2 and Panasonic FX700.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FX700 is 12g lighter than the Panasonic TS2 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 FX700.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic FX700'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.
