Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Casio EX-ZS5 is 229g lighter than the Panasonic ZS3 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

Unfortunately neither Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 (Lumix DMC-TZ7) nor Casio Exilim EX-ZS5 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
