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 P7800 and Kodak Z980 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon P7800 has external dimensions of 119 x 78 x 50 mm (4.69 x 3.07 x 1.97″) and weighs 399 g (0.88 lb / 14.07 oz) (including batteries). Kodak Z980 has external dimensions of 124 x 91 x 105 mm (4.88 x 3.58 x 4.13″) and weighs 445 g (0.98 lb / 15.70 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon P7800 and the Kodak Z980. Nikon P7800 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 5mm narrower, 13mm shorter and 55mm thinner than Kodak Z980.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon P7800 and Kodak Z980.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon P7800 and Kodak Z980.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon P7800 is 46g lighter than the Kodak Z980 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix P7800 nor Kodak EasyShare Z980 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 P7800 and Kodak Z980's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon P7800 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. Kodak Z980's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P7800.
