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 P510 and Nikon B500 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon P510 has external dimensions of 120 x 83 x 102 mm (4.72 x 3.27 x 4.02″) and weighs 555 g (1.22 lb / 19.58 oz) (including batteries). Nikon B500 has external dimensions of 114 x 78 x 95 mm (4.49 x 3.07 x 3.74″) and weighs 541 g (1.19 lb / 19.08 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon P510 and the Nikon B500. Nikon B500 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 6mm narrower, 5mm shorter and 7mm thinner than Nikon P510.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon P510 and Nikon B500.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon P510 and Nikon B500.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon B500 is 14g lighter than the Nikon P510 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
