Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon D30 is significantly lighter (181g ) than the Nikon P7800 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the D30, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the P7800.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon D30 and Nikon P7800'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. Canon D30's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P7800.
