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 ZS60 and Fujifilm HS30EXR side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic ZS60 has external dimensions of 112 x 64 x 38 mm (4.41 x 2.52 x 1.5″) and weighs 282 g (0.62 lb / 9.95 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic ZS60 and Fujifilm HS30EXR.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic ZS60 is significantly lighter (405g ) than the Fujifilm HS30EXR which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60 (Lumix DMC-TZ80) nor Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR 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 ZS60 and Fujifilm HS30EXR's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Fujifilm HS30EXR features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Panasonic ZS60 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HS30EXR.
