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 Sony HX400V and Nikon P900 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony HX400V has external dimensions of 130 x 93 x 103 mm (5.1 x 3.67 x 4.06″) and weighs 660 g (1.46 lb / 23.28 oz) (including batteries). Nikon P900 has external dimensions of 140 x 103 x 137 mm (5.51 x 4.06 x 5.39″) and weighs 899 g (1.98 lb / 31.71 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony HX400V and the Nikon P900. Sony HX400V is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 10mm narrower, 10mm shorter and 34mm thinner than Nikon P900.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony HX400V and Nikon P900.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony HX400V and Nikon P900.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony HX400V is significantly lighter (239g ) than the Nikon P900 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX400V nor Nikon Coolpix P900 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
Sony HX400V and Nikon P900's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Sony HX400V features a

Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
