Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic TS5 is significantly lighter (336g ) than the Nikon P520 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TS5, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the P520.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon P520's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic TS5's 3 screen.
Moreover, Nikon P520 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 TS5 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P520.
