Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TS4, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the SX280 HS.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon SX280 HS's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic TS4's 2.7" screen.
