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 S5300 and Canon A2300 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon S5300 has external dimensions of 97 x 58 x 21 mm (3.82 x 2.28 x 0.83″) and weighs 138 g (0.30 lb / 4.87 oz) (including batteries). Canon A2300 has external dimensions of 95 x 54 x 20 mm (3.74 x 2.13 x 0.79″) and weighs 125 g (0.28 lb / 4.41 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon A2300 is 13g lighter than the Nikon S5300 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S5300 nor Canon PowerShot A2300 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 S5300's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon A2300's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
