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 ZS8 and Fujifilm F800EXR side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic ZS8 has external dimensions of 105 x 58 x 33 mm (4.13 x 2.28 x 1.3″) and weighs 210 g (0.46 lb / 7.41 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm F800EXR has external dimensions of 105 x 63 x 36 mm (4.13 x 2.48 x 1.42″) and weighs 232 g (0.51 lb / 8.18 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic ZS8 is 22g lighter than the Fujifilm F800EXR but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS8 (Lumix DMC-TZ18) nor Fujifilm FinePix F800EXR provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Panasonic ZS8 and Fujifilm F800EXR's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
