Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 (Lumix DMC-TZ7) nor FujiFilm FinePix AV200 (FinePix AV205) provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic ZS3's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than FujiFilm AV200's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
