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 P950 and Canon SX600 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon P950 has external dimensions of 140 x 110 x 150 mm (5.51 x 4.33 x 5.91″) and weighs 1005 g (2.22 lb / 35.45 oz) (including batteries). Canon SX600 HS has external dimensions of 104 x 61 x 26 mm (4.09 x 2.4 x 1.02″) and weighs 188 g (0.41 lb / 6.63 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon P950 and the Canon SX600 HS. Canon SX600 HS is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 36mm narrower, 49mm shorter and 124mm thinner than Nikon P950.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon P950 and Canon SX600 HS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon P950 and Canon SX600 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX600 HS is significantly lighter (817g ) than the Nikon P950 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix P950 nor Canon PowerShot SX600 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 P950's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon SX600 HS's 3" screen.
Moreover, Nikon P950 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, Canon SX600 HS has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P950.
