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 HX400V 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 HX400V has external dimensions of 130 x 93 x 103 mm (5.1 x 3.67 x 4.06″) and weighs 660 g (1.46 lb / 23.28 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon P1000 and the Sony HX400V. Sony HX400V is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 16mm narrower, 26mm shorter and 78mm thinner than Nikon P1000.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon P1000 and Sony HX400V.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon P1000 and Sony HX400V.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony HX400V is significantly lighter (755g ) 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-HX400V provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
