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 Sony HX100V 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). Sony HX100V has external dimensions of 122 x 87 x 93 mm (4.8 x 3.43 x 3.66″) and weighs 577 g (1.27 lb / 20.35 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon P1000 and the Sony HX100V. Sony HX100V is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 24mm narrower, 32mm shorter and 88mm thinner than Nikon P1000.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon P1000 and Sony HX100V.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon P1000 and Sony HX100V.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony HX100V is significantly lighter (838g ) than the Nikon P1000 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix P1000 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX100V provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Nikon P1000's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony HX100V's 3 screen.
