Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon A10 is significantly lighter (378g ) than the Nikon L840 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon L840's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon A10's 2.7 screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Nikon L840 LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Nikon A10 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to L840.
