Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony WX10 is significantly lighter (144g ) than the Panasonic ZS35 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX10 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS35 (Lumix DMC-TZ55) 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
Panasonic ZS35's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony WX10's 2.8" screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Panasonic ZS35 LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Sony WX10 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to ZS35.
