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 Sony H200 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). Sony H200 has external dimensions of 123 x 83 x 87 mm (4.84 x 3.27 x 3.43″) and weighs 530 g (1.17 lb / 18.70 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon L840 and the Sony H200. Sony H200 is 6mm shorter and 9mm thinner than Nikon L840 but it is also 9mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon L840 and Sony H200.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon L840 and Sony H200.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony H200 is 8g lighter than the Nikon L840 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix L840 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H200 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 L840 and Sony H200's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon L840 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 Sony H200 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to L840.
