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 P600 and Canon SX530 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon P600 has external dimensions of 125 x 85 x 107 mm (4.92 x 3.35 x 4.21″) and weighs 565 g (1.25 lb / 19.93 oz) (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 P600 and the Canon SX530 HS. Canon SX530 HS is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 5mm narrower, 3mm shorter and 15mm thinner than Nikon P600.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon P600 and Canon SX530 HS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon P600 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 significantly lighter (123g ) than the Nikon P600 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix P600 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 P600 and Canon SX530 HS's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon P600 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Canon SX530 HS's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P600.
