Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic XS1 is significantly lighter (30g ) than the Sony TX20 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TX20, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the XS1.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony TX20's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic XS1's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
