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 Nikon B700 and Panasonic FZ80 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon B700 has external dimensions of 125 x 85 x 107 mm (4.92 x 3.35 x 4.21″) and weighs 565 g (1.25 lb / 19.93 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic FZ80 has external dimensions of 130 x 94 x 119 mm (5.12 x 3.7 x 4.69″) and weighs 616 g (1.36 lb / 21.73 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon B700 and the Panasonic FZ80. Nikon B700 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 5mm narrower, 9mm shorter and 12mm thinner than Panasonic FZ80.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon B700 and Panasonic FZ80.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon B700 and Panasonic FZ80.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon B700 is 51g lighter than the Panasonic FZ80 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix B700 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ80 (Lumix DMC-FZ82) 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
Nikon B700 and Panasonic FZ80's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon B700 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Panasonic FZ80's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to B700.
