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 Samsung HZ35W and Panasonic ZS50 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung HZ35W has external dimensions of 107 x 61 x 28 mm (4.21 x 2.4 x 1.1″) and weighs 245 g (0.54 lb / 8.64 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic ZS50 has external dimensions of 111 x 65 x 34 mm (4.37 x 2.56 x 1.34″) and weighs 243 g (0.54 lb / 8.57 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung HZ35W and the Panasonic ZS50. Samsung HZ35W is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 4mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 6mm thinner than Panasonic ZS50.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Samsung HZ35W and Panasonic ZS50.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Samsung HZ35W and Panasonic ZS50.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic ZS50 is 2g lighter than the Samsung HZ35W but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung HZ35W (WB650) nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS50 (Lumix DMC-TZ70) 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
Samsung HZ35W and Panasonic ZS50's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
