Take into account, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you have attached during that time. Underneath is the front view size comparison of the ZS200 and the GX85.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the ZS200 and GX85 is 86 and 83 respectively.

Typically, it is difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by reading through a spec sheet. The image here might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the ZS200 and GX85.

Clearly, the two cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The ZS200 having a tinier sensor will make getting bokeh more difficult and the Panasonic ZS200 will resolve greater detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The newer ZS200 will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
