Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony TX30 is significantly lighter (99g ) than the Panasonic ZS40 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the TX30 has a big advantage over the ZS40 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony TX30's 3.30" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic ZS40's 3 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
