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 Pentax Efina 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). Pentax Efina has external dimensions of 87 x 54 x 21 mm (3.43 x 2.13 x 0.83″) and weighs 91 g (0.20 lb / 3.21 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon P300 and the Pentax Efina. Pentax Efina is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 16mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 11mm thinner than Nikon P300.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon P300 and Pentax Efina.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon P300 and Pentax Efina.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Pentax Efina is significantly lighter (98g ) than the Nikon P300 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix P300 nor Pentax Efina provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon P300's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Pentax Efina's 2.5" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
