Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon P610 is 43g lighter than the Canon SX70 HS but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX70 HS nor Nikon Coolpix P610 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Canon SX70 HS and Nikon P610's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.

Fully Articulating screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. Fully articulating screens are also useful for taking Selfies and video.
