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 L830 and Fujifilm S8600 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon L830 has external dimensions of 110 x 76 x 91 mm (4.33 x 2.99 x 3.58″) and weighs 508 g (1.12 lb / 17.92 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm S8600 has external dimensions of 121 x 81 x 65 mm (4.76 x 3.19 x 2.56″) and weighs 450 g (0.99 lb / 15.87 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon L830 and the Fujifilm S8600. Nikon L830 is 11mm narrower and 5mm shorter than Fujifilm S8600 but it is also 26mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon L830 and Fujifilm S8600.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon L830 and Fujifilm S8600.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Fujifilm S8600 is 58g lighter than the Nikon L830 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix L830 nor Fujifilm FinePix S8600 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 L830 and Fujifilm S8600's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon L830 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 Fujifilm S8600 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to L830.
