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 Fujifilm SL240 and Nikon L840 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm SL240 has external dimensions of 122 x 93 x 100 mm (4.8 x 3.66 x 3.94″) and weighs 510 g (1.12 lb / 17.99 oz) (including batteries). Nikon L840 has external dimensions of 114 x 89 x 96 mm (4.49 x 3.5 x 3.78″) and weighs 538 g (1.19 lb / 18.98 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm SL240 and the Nikon L840. Nikon L840 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 8mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 4mm thinner than Fujifilm SL240.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Fujifilm SL240 and Nikon L840.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm SL240 and Nikon L840.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm SL240 is 28g lighter than the Nikon L840 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Fujifilm FinePix SL240 nor Nikon Coolpix L840 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
Fujifilm SL240 and Nikon L840's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon L840 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Fujifilm SL240 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to L840.
