Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon L820 is 24g 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 Nikon Coolpix L820 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 Nikon L820'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.
