Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic LX10 is 2g lighter than the Panasonic ZS100 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS100 (Lumix DMC-TZ100) nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX10 (Lumix DMC-LX15) 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 ZS100 and Panasonic LX10's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3.00".
On the other hand, Panasonic LX10 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over the head levels whereas the Panasonic ZS100 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to LX10.
