Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon N is significantly lighter (34g ) than the Panasonic ZS1 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 (Lumix DMC-TZ6) nor Canon PowerShot N provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon N's 2.8" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic ZS1's 2.7" screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Canon N LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over the head levels. On the other hand, Panasonic ZS1 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to N.
