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 P900 and Sony HX200V side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon P900 has external dimensions of 140 x 103 x 137 mm (5.51 x 4.06 x 5.39″) and weighs 899 g (1.98 lb / 31.71 oz) (including batteries). Sony HX200V has external dimensions of 122 x 87 x 93 mm (4.8 x 3.43 x 3.66″) and weighs 583 g (1.29 lb / 20.56 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon P900 and the Sony HX200V. Sony HX200V is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 18mm narrower, 16mm shorter and 44mm thinner than Nikon P900.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon P900 and Sony HX200V.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon P900 and Sony HX200V.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony HX200V is significantly lighter (316g ) than the Nikon P900 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix P900 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V 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 P900 and Sony HX200V's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Sony HX200V features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Nikon P900 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
