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 SX740 HS and Nikon A900 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon SX740 HS has external dimensions of 110 x 64 x 40 mm (4.33 x 2.52 x 1.57″) and weighs 299 g (0.66 lb / 10.55 oz) (including batteries). Nikon A900 has external dimensions of 113 x 67 x 40 mm (4.45 x 2.64 x 1.57″) and weighs 289 g (0.64 lb / 10.19 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon SX740 HS and the Nikon A900.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon SX740 HS and Nikon A900.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon SX740 HS and Nikon A900.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon A900 is 10g lighter than the Canon SX740 HS but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS nor Nikon Coolpix A900 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
