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 Pentax X-5 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). Pentax X-5 has external dimensions of 119 x 86 x 107 mm (4.69 x 3.39 x 4.21″) and weighs 595 g (1.31 lb / 20.99 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon B700 and the Pentax X-5.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon B700 and Pentax X-5.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon B700 is 30g lighter than the Pentax X-5 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix B700 nor Pentax X-5 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 Pentax X-5's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Pentax X-5 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Nikon B700 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
