Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS15 (Lumix DMC-TZ25) nor Nikon Coolpix S5200 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Panasonic ZS15 and Nikon S5200's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
