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 ZS7 and Nikon S30 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic ZS7 has external dimensions of 103 x 60 x 33 mm (4.06 x 2.36 x 1.3″) and weighs 218 g (0.48 lb / 7.69 oz) (including batteries). Nikon S30 has external dimensions of 102 x 65 x 40 mm (4.02 x 2.56 x 1.57″) and weighs 214 g (0.47 lb / 7.55 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic ZS7 and the Nikon S30. Panasonic ZS7 is 5mm shorter and 7mm thinner than Nikon S30 but it is also 1mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic ZS7 and Nikon S30.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic ZS7 and Nikon S30.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S30 is 4g lighter than the Panasonic ZS7 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the S30, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the ZS7.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic ZS7's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon S30's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
