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 Pentax WG-1 and Panasonic ZS60 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Pentax WG-1 has external dimensions of 114 x 58 x 28 mm (4.49 x 2.28 x 1.1″) and weighs 157 g (0.35 lb / 5.54 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Pentax WG-1 and Panasonic ZS60.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Pentax WG-1 is significantly lighter (125g ) than the Panasonic ZS60 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WG-1, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the ZS60.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic ZS60's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Pentax WG-1's 2.7" screen.
