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 P610 and Olympus SP-590 UZ side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon P610 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). Olympus SP-590 UZ has external dimensions of 116 x 84 x 81 mm (4.57 x 3.31 x 3.19″) and weighs 413 g (0.91 lb / 14.57 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon P610 and the Olympus SP-590 UZ. Olympus SP-590 UZ is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 9mm narrower, 1mm shorter and 26mm thinner than Nikon P610.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon P610 and Olympus SP-590 UZ.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus SP-590 UZ is significantly lighter (152g ) than the Nikon P610 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the SP-590 UZ, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the P610.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon P610's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus SP-590 UZ's 2.7" screen.
Moreover, Nikon P610 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. On the other hand, Olympus SP-590 UZ has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P610.
