Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon B600 is 67g lighter than the Pentax XG-1 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix B600 nor Pentax XG-1 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 B600 and Pentax XG-1's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
