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 P300 and Nikon S9100 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon P300 has external dimensions of 103 x 58 x 32 mm (4.06 x 2.28 x 1.26″) and weighs 189 g (0.42 lb / 6.67 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon P300 is 25g lighter than the Nikon S9100 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix P300 nor Nikon Coolpix S9100 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon P300 and Nikon S9100's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
