Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix A10 nor Olympus SZ-11 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
Olympus SZ-11's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon A10's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
