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 L120 and Nikon P7100 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon L120 has external dimensions of 110 x 77 x 78 mm (4.33 x 3.03 x 3.07″) and weighs 431 g (0.95 lb / 15.20 oz) (including batteries). Nikon P7100 has external dimensions of 116 x 77 x 48 mm (4.57 x 3.03 x 1.89″) and weighs 395 g (0.87 lb / 13.93 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon L120 and the Nikon P7100.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon L120 and Nikon P7100.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon P7100 is 36g lighter than the Nikon L120 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix L120 nor Nikon Coolpix P7100 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 L120 and Nikon P7100's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon P7100 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Nikon L120 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to P7100.
