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 Sony RX100 VII 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). Sony RX100 VII has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 43 mm (4.02 x 2.28 x 1.69″) and weighs 302 g (0.67 lb / 10.65 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon A1000 and the Sony RX100 VII. Sony RX100 VII is 12mm narrower and 14mm shorter than Nikon A1000 but it is also 2mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon A1000 and Sony RX100 VII.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon A1000 and Sony RX100 VII.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony RX100 VII is 28g lighter than the Nikon A1000 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix A1000 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VII provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
