Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic ZS60 is 40g lighter than the Panasonic ZS99 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60 (Lumix DMC-TZ80) nor Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS99 (Lumix DC-TZ99) 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 Panasonic ZS99's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Panasonic ZS99 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 ZS99.
