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 P530 and Canon SX530 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon P530 has external dimensions of 123 x 84 x 98 mm (4.83 x 3.31 x 3.87″) and weighs 494 g (including batteries). Canon SX530 HS has external dimensions of 120 x 82 x 92 mm (4.72 x 3.23 x 3.62″) and weighs 442 g (0.97 lb / 15.59 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon P530 and the Canon SX530 HS. Canon SX530 HS is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 3mm narrower, 2mm shorter and 6mm thinner than Nikon P530.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon P530 and Canon SX530 HS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon P530 and Canon SX530 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX530 HS is 52g lighter than the Nikon P530 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix P530 nor Canon PowerShot SX530 HS 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 P530 and Canon SX530 HS'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.
