Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Panasonic ZS1 and Casio TRYX side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic ZS1 has external dimensions of 103 x 60 x 33 mm (4.06 x 2.36 x 1.3″) and weighs 229 g (0.50 lb / 8.08 oz) (including batteries). Casio TRYX has external dimensions of 122 x 58 x 15 mm (4.8 x 2.28 x 0.59″) and weighs (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic ZS1 and the Casio TRYX. Casio TRYX is 2mm shorter and 18mm thinner than Panasonic ZS1 but it is also 19mm wider.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Casio TRYX is 229g lighter than the Panasonic ZS1 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 (Lumix DMC-TZ6) nor Casio Exilim TRYX provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Casio TRYX's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic ZS1's 2.7" screen.
Moreover, Casio TRYX 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 ZS1 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to TRYX.
