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 S8200 and Nikon P310 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon S8200 has external dimensions of 104 x 59 x 33 mm (4.09 x 2.32 x 1.3″) and weighs 213 g (0.47 lb / 7.51 oz) (including batteries). Nikon P310 has external dimensions of 103 x 58 x 32 mm (4.06 x 2.28 x 1.26″) and weighs 194 g (0.43 lb / 6.84 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon P310 is 19g lighter than the Nikon S8200 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S8200 nor Nikon Coolpix P310 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon S8200 and Nikon P310'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.
