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 B600 and Nikon P1000 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon B600 has external dimensions of 122 x 82 x 99 mm (4.8 x 3.23 x 3.9″) and weighs 500 g (1.10 lb / 17.64 oz) (including batteries). Nikon P1000 has external dimensions of 146 x 119 x 181 mm (5.75 x 4.69 x 7.13″) and weighs 1415 g (3.12 lb / 49.91 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon B600 and the Nikon P1000. Nikon B600 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 24mm narrower, 37mm shorter and 82mm thinner than Nikon P1000.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon B600 and Nikon P1000.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon B600 and Nikon P1000.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon B600 is significantly lighter (915g ) than the Nikon P1000 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix B600 nor Nikon Coolpix P1000 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 P1000's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon B600's 3 screen.
Moreover, Nikon P1000 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Nikon B600 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P1000.
