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 W300 and Canon S120 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon W300 has external dimensions of 112 x 66 x 29 mm (4.41 x 2.6 x 1.14″) and weighs 231 g (0.51 lb / 8.15 oz) (including batteries). Canon S120 has external dimensions of 100 x 59 x 29 mm (3.94 x 2.32 x 1.14″) and weighs 217 g (0.48 lb / 7.65 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon W300 and the Canon S120. Canon S120 is 12mm narrower and 7mm shorter than Nikon W300 but they have the same thickness of 29mm.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon W300 and Canon S120.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon W300 and Canon S120.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon S120 is 14g lighter than the Nikon W300 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the W300, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the S120.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon W300 and Canon S120's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
