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 Sony RX100 V and Panasonic ZS200 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony RX100 V has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 41 mm (4.02 x 2.28 x 1.61″) and weighs 299 g (0.66 lb / 10.55 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic ZS200 has external dimensions of 111 x 66 x 45 mm (4.37 x 2.6 x 1.77″) and weighs 340 g (0.75 lb / 11.99 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony RX100 V and the Panasonic ZS200. Sony RX100 V is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 9mm narrower, 8mm shorter and 4mm thinner than Panasonic ZS200.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony RX100 V is 41g lighter than the Panasonic ZS200 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 V nor Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS200 (Lumix DC-TZ200) 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
Sony RX100 V and Panasonic ZS200's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony RX100 V 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 ZS200 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to RX100 V.
