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 S6200 and Olympus E-P3 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon S6200 has external dimensions of 93 x 58 x 26 mm (3.66 x 2.28 x 1.02″) and weighs 160 g (0.35 lb / 5.64 oz) (including batteries). Olympus E-P3 has external dimensions of 122 x 69 x 34 mm (4.8 x 2.72 x 1.34″) and weighs 369 g (0.81 lb / 13.02 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon S6200 and the Olympus E-P3. Nikon S6200 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 29mm narrower, 11mm shorter and 8mm thinner than Olympus E-P3. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Nikon S6200 has a built-in lens but Olympus E-P3 doesn't. Once you put a lens on E-P3, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon S6200 and Olympus E-P3.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon S6200 and Olympus E-P3.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S6200 is significantly lighter (209g ) than the Olympus E-P3 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on E-P3, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S6200 nor Olympus PEN E-P3 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
Olympus E-P3's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon S6200's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
