Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon A1000 is significantly lighter (320g ) than the Canon SX60 HS which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix A1000 nor Canon PowerShot SX60 HS provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
