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 S8000 and Canon S200 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon S8000 has external dimensions of 103 x 57 x 27 mm (4.06 x 2.24 x 1.06″) and weighs 183 g (0.40 lb / 6.46 oz) (including batteries). Canon S200 has external dimensions of 100 x 59 x 26 mm (3.94 x 2.32 x 1.02″) and weighs 181 g (0.40 lb / 6.38 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon S8000 and the Canon S200. Canon S200 is 3mm narrower and 1mm thinner than Nikon S8000 but it is also 2mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon S8000 and Canon S200.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon S8000 and Canon S200.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon S200 is 2g lighter than the Nikon S8000 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S8000 nor Canon PowerShot S200 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 S8000 and Canon S200's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
