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 S9900 and Kodak M590 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon S9900 has external dimensions of 112 x 66 x 40 mm (4.41 x 2.6 x 1.57″) and weighs 289 g (0.64 lb / 10.19 oz) (including batteries). Kodak M590 has external dimensions of 97 x 58 x 15 mm (3.82 x 2.28 x 0.59″) and weighs (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon S9900 and the Kodak M590. Kodak M590 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 15mm narrower, 8mm shorter and 25mm thinner than Nikon S9900.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon S9900 and Kodak M590.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon S9900 and Kodak M590.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak M590 is 289g lighter than the Nikon S9900 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S9900 nor Kodak M590 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 S9900's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Kodak M590's 2.5" screen.
Moreover, Nikon S9900 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, Kodak M590 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to S9900.
