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 ZS15 and Panasonic TS3 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic ZS15 has external dimensions of 105 x 58 x 33 mm (4.13 x 2.28 x 1.3″) and weighs 208 g (0.46 lb / 7.34 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic TS3 has external dimensions of 103 x 64 x 27 mm (4.06 x 2.52 x 1.06″) and weighs 197 g (0.43 lb / 6.95 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic ZS15 and the Panasonic TS3. Panasonic TS3 is 2mm narrower and 6mm thinner than Panasonic ZS15 but it is also 6mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic ZS15 and Panasonic TS3.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic ZS15 and Panasonic TS3.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic TS3 is 11g lighter than the Panasonic ZS15 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TS3, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the ZS15.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic ZS15's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic TS3's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
