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 Olympus SH-50 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). Olympus SH-50 has external dimensions of 112 x 63 x 42 mm (4.41 x 2.48 x 1.65″) and weighs 269 g (0.59 lb / 9.49 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic ZS60 and the Olympus SH-50.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic ZS60 and Olympus SH-50.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic ZS60 and Olympus SH-50.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus SH-50 is 13g lighter than the Panasonic ZS60 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60 (Lumix DMC-TZ80) nor Olympus SH-50 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 Olympus SH-50'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.
