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 Kodak M575 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). Kodak M575 has external dimensions of 99 x 58 x 19 mm (3.9 x 2.28 x 0.75″) and weighs 152 g (0.34 lb / 5.36 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic ZS1 and the Kodak M575. Kodak M575 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 4mm narrower, 2mm shorter and 14mm thinner than Panasonic ZS1.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic ZS1 and Kodak M575.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak M575 is significantly lighter (77g ) than the Panasonic ZS1 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 (Lumix DMC-TZ6) nor Kodak EasyShare M575 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
Kodak M575's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic ZS1's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
