Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon A4000 IS is significantly lighter (177g ) than the Panasonic ZS70 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS70 (Lumix DC-TZ90) nor Canon PowerShot A4000 IS 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 ZS70 and Canon A4000 IS's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Panasonic ZS70 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 Canon A4000 IS has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to ZS70.
