Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Casio EX-Z16 is 229g lighter than the Panasonic ZS1 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 (Lumix DMC-TZ6) nor Casio Exilim EX-Z16 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic ZS1's 2.7" LCD screen is slightly larger than Casio EX-Z16's screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
