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 L840 and Nikon B500 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon L840 has external dimensions of 114 x 89 x 96 mm (4.49 x 3.5 x 3.78″) and weighs 538 g (1.19 lb / 18.98 oz) (including batteries). Nikon B500 has external dimensions of 114 x 78 x 95 mm (4.49 x 3.07 x 3.74″) and weighs 541 g (1.19 lb / 19.08 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon L840 is 3g lighter than the Nikon B500 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
