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 Ricoh PX and Panasonic ZS80 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Ricoh PX has external dimensions of 100 x 55 x 21 mm (3.94 x 2.17 x 0.83″) and weighs 156 g (0.34 lb / 5.50 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic ZS80 has external dimensions of 112 x 69 x 42 mm (4.41 x 2.72 x 1.65″) and weighs 327 g (0.72 lb / 11.53 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Ricoh PX and the Panasonic ZS80. Ricoh PX is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 12mm narrower, 14mm shorter and 21mm thinner than Panasonic ZS80.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Ricoh PX and Panasonic ZS80.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Ricoh PX and Panasonic ZS80.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh PX is significantly lighter (171g ) than the Panasonic ZS80 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the PX has a big advantage over the ZS80 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic ZS80's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Ricoh PX's 2.7" screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Panasonic ZS80 LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Ricoh PX has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to ZS80.
