Can you tell me the difference between Skywatcher Explorer130M f/900 Motorised Newton Telescope with Parabolic Mirror 5.1 Inches and SW 130P f / 650?

In terms of telescope spec, nothing.In terms of functionality, the 130M features a battery powered clock motor which you can use to adjust the alt-az of the telescope instead of manually turning the adjustment arms, and can be used to compensate for the rotation of the earth. When you look at an astral object, within a minute or two you will have to adjust the aim of the scope again because the earth has rotated and the object has "moved" The clock motor can be set to compensate for this.

Do the images appear upside down

Yes and they will because of the way reflective optics work

What is the weight of telescope when assembled?

Including tripod I would say about 10 kgs. moving it around is not too bad, but fully assembled through doors is a little tricky.

Is it possible to connect a camera to the telescope so I can take photos? I have a Panasonic FZ150 bridge camera.

I have a canon 6d. Moon pics worked fine but stars couldn't focus properly with the camera. Great with the eye piece for simple viewing though!
