Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon L120 is significantly lighter (119g ) than the Nikon P520 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Nikon Coolpix L120 nor Nikon Coolpix P520 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon P520's 3.2" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon L120's 3" screen.
Moreover, Nikon P520 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 L120 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P520.
