Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon A1400 is 15g lighter than the Nikon P300 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Nikon Coolpix P300 nor Canon PowerShot A1400 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon P300's 3" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon A1400's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
