Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon P300 is 6g lighter than the Canon N but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Nikon Coolpix P300 nor Canon PowerShot N 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 N's 2.8" screen.
On the other hand, Canon N LCD screen has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over the head levels. On the other hand, Nikon P300 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to N.
