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 Sony WX300 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). Sony WX300 has external dimensions of 96 x 55 x 25 mm (3.78 x 2.16 x 0.98″) and weighs 166 g (0.37 lb / 5.86 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon P610 and the Sony WX300. Sony WX300 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 29mm narrower, 30mm shorter and 82mm thinner than Nikon P610.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon P610 and Sony WX300.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony WX300 is significantly lighter (399g ) than the Nikon P610 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix P610 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX300 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 P610 and Sony WX300's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, 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. Sony WX300's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P610.
