Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic ZS300 is significantly lighter (714g ) than the Sony RX10 III which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the RX10 III has a big advantage over the ZS300 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony RX10 III and Panasonic ZS300's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony RX10 III 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 Panasonic ZS300 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to RX10 III.
