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 Nikon A1000 and Olympus E-M10 III side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon A1000 has external dimensions of 114 x 72 x 41 mm (4.49 x 2.83 x 1.61″) and weighs 330 g (0.73 lb / 11.64 oz) (including batteries). Olympus E-M10 III has external dimensions of 122 x 84 x 50 mm (4.8 x 3.31 x 1.97″) and weighs 410 g (0.90 lb / 14.46 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon A1000 and the Olympus E-M10 III. Nikon A1000 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 8mm narrower, 12mm shorter and 9mm thinner than Olympus E-M10 III. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Nikon A1000 has a built-in lens but Olympus E-M10 III doesn't. Once you put a lens on E-M10 III, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon A1000 and Olympus E-M10 III.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon A1000 and Olympus E-M10 III.
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 (80g ) than the Olympus E-M10 III which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on E-M10 III, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix A1000 nor Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Nikon A1000 and Olympus E-M10 III's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
