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

Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS25 (Lumix DMC-TZ35) nor Olympus SZ-15 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
