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 L22 and Panasonic 3D1 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon L22 has external dimensions of 98 x 61 x 28 mm (3.86 x 2.4 x 1.1″) and weighs 183 g (0.40 lb / 6.46 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic 3D1 has external dimensions of 108 x 58 x 24 mm (4.25 x 2.28 x 0.94″) and weighs 193 g (0.43 lb / 6.81 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon L22 and the Panasonic 3D1. Panasonic 3D1 is 3mm shorter and 4mm thinner than Nikon L22 but it is also 10mm wider.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon L22 is 10g lighter than the Panasonic 3D1 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix L22 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic 3D1's 3.50" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon L22's 3" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
