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 W730 and Panasonic FH6 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony W730 has external dimensions of 93 x 52 x 22 mm (3.66 x 2.05 x 0.87″) and weighs 122 g (0.27 lb / 4.30 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic FH6 has external dimensions of 96 x 56 x 20 mm (3.78 x 2.2 x 0.79″) and weighs 119 g (0.26 lb / 4.20 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony W730 and the Panasonic FH6. Sony W730 is 3mm narrower and 4mm shorter than Panasonic FH6 but it is also 2mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony W730 and Panasonic FH6.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony W730 and Panasonic FH6.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic FH6 is 3g lighter than the Sony W730 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W730 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH6 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 W730 and Panasonic FH6's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 2.70 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
