Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony WX300 is significantly lighter (116g ) than the Panasonic ZS60 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60 (Lumix DMC-TZ80) nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX300 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 Sony WX300's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
