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 P500 and Samsung WB1100F side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon P500 has external dimensions of 116 x 84 x 10 mm (4.57 x 3.31 x 4.06″) and weighs 494 g (1.09 lb / 17.43 oz) (including batteries). Samsung WB1100F has external dimensions of 125 x 87 x 96 mm (4.92 x 3.43 x 3.78″) and weighs 512 g (1.13 lb / 18.06 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon P500 and the Samsung WB1100F. Nikon P500 is 9mm narrower and 3mm shorter than Samsung WB1100F but it is also 7mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon P500 and Samsung WB1100F.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon P500 and Samsung WB1100F.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon P500 is 18g lighter than the Samsung WB1100F but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix P500 nor Samsung WB1100F 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 P500 and Samsung WB1100F's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon P500 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Samsung WB1100F has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to P500.
