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 B700 and Canon SX700 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon B700 has external dimensions of 125 x 85 x 107 mm (4.92 x 3.35 x 4.21″) and weighs 565 g (1.25 lb / 19.93 oz) (including batteries). Canon SX700 HS has external dimensions of 113 x 66 x 35 mm (4.45 x 2.6 x 1.38″) and weighs 269 g (0.59 lb / 9.49 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon B700 and the Canon SX700 HS. Canon SX700 HS is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 12mm narrower, 19mm shorter and 72mm thinner than Nikon B700.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon B700 and Canon SX700 HS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon B700 and Canon SX700 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX700 HS is significantly lighter (296g ) than the Nikon B700 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix B700 nor Canon PowerShot SX700 HS 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 B700 and Canon SX700 HS's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon B700 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. Canon SX700 HS's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to B700.
