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 Canon SX540 HS and Nikon P950 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon SX540 HS has external dimensions of 120 x 82 x 92 mm (4.72 x 3.23 x 3.62″) and weighs 442 g (0.97 lb / 15.59 oz) (including batteries). Nikon P950 has external dimensions of 140 x 110 x 150 mm (5.51 x 4.33 x 5.91″) and weighs 1005 g (2.22 lb / 35.45 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon SX540 HS and the Nikon P950. Canon SX540 HS is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 20mm narrower, 28mm shorter and 58mm thinner than Nikon P950.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon SX540 HS and Nikon P950.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon SX540 HS and Nikon P950.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX540 HS is significantly lighter (563g ) than the Nikon P950 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX540 HS nor Nikon Coolpix P950 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 P950's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon SX540 HS's 3 screen.
Moreover, Nikon P950 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. On the other hand, Canon SX540 HS has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P950.
