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 Samsung HZ25W 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). Samsung HZ25W has external dimensions of 116 x 83 x 92 mm (4.57 x 3.27 x 3.62″) and weighs 428 g (0.94 lb / 15.10 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon P7800 and the Samsung HZ25W. Nikon P7800 is 5mm shorter and 42mm thinner than Samsung HZ25W but it is also 3mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon P7800 and Samsung HZ25W.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon P7800 is 29g lighter than the Samsung HZ25W but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix P7800 nor Samsung HZ25W (WB5000) 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 Samsung HZ25W'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. Samsung HZ25W's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P7800.
