Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic ZS50 is 10g lighter than the Olympus TG-6 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TG-6, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the ZS50.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic ZS50 and Olympus TG-6's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
