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 L820 and Olympus 1s side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon L820 has external dimensions of 111 x 76 x 85 mm (4.37 x 2.99 x 3.35″) and weighs 470 g (1.04 lb / 16.58 oz) (including batteries). Olympus 1s has external dimensions of 116 x 87 x 57 mm (4.57 x 3.43 x 2.24″) and weighs 402 g (0.89 lb / 14.18 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon L820 and the Olympus 1s. Nikon L820 is 5mm narrower and 11mm shorter than Olympus 1s but it is also 28mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon L820 and Olympus 1s.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon L820 and Olympus 1s.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus 1s is significantly lighter (68g ) than the Nikon L820 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix L820 nor Olympus Stylus 1s 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 L820 and Olympus 1s's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Olympus 1s 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 L820 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to 1s.
