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 P1000 and Olympus FE-5010 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon P1000 has external dimensions of 146 x 119 x 181 mm (5.75 x 4.69 x 7.13″) and weighs 1415 g (3.12 lb / 49.91 oz) (including batteries). Olympus FE-5010 has external dimensions of 96 x 57 x 21 mm (3.78 x 2.24 x 0.83″) and weighs 130 g (0.29 lb / 4.59 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon P1000 and the Olympus FE-5010. Olympus FE-5010 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 50mm narrower, 62mm shorter and 160mm thinner than Nikon P1000.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus FE-5010 is significantly lighter (1285g ) than the Nikon P1000 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the FE-5010, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the P1000.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon P1000's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus FE-5010's 2.7" screen.
Moreover, Nikon P1000 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Olympus FE-5010 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P1000.
