Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon A1000 is 6g lighter than the Kodak AZ255 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix A1000 nor Kodak PIXPRO AZ255 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
Nikon A1000 and Kodak AZ255's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon A1000 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 Kodak AZ255 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to A1000.
