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 Kodak Z990 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). Kodak Z990 has external dimensions of 124 x 91 x 105 mm (4.88 x 3.58 x 4.13″) and weighs 445 g (0.98 lb / 15.70 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon L830 and the Kodak Z990. Nikon L830 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 14mm narrower, 15mm shorter and 14mm thinner than Kodak Z990.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon L830 and Kodak Z990.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak Z990 is 63g 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 Kodak EasyShare Z990 (EasyShare Max) 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 Kodak Z990'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 Kodak Z990 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to L830.
