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 P510 and Nikon P530 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon P510 has external dimensions of 120 x 83 x 102 mm (4.72 x 3.27 x 4.02″) and weighs 555 g (1.22 lb / 19.58 oz) (including batteries). Nikon P530 has external dimensions of 123 x 84 x 98 mm (4.83 x 3.31 x 3.87″) and weighs 494 g (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon P510 and the Nikon P530. Nikon P510 is 3mm narrower and 1mm shorter than Nikon P530 but it is also 4mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon P510 and Nikon P530.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon P510 and Nikon P530.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon P530 is 61g lighter than the Nikon P510 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix P510 nor Nikon Coolpix P530 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 P510 and Nikon P530's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon P510 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Nikon P530 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to P510.
