Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon G3 X and Nikon S5200.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S5200 is significantly lighter (587g ) than the Canon G3 X which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the G3 X has a big advantage over the S5200 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon G3 X's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon S5200's 3 screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Canon G3 X 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, Nikon S5200 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to G3 X.
