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 D300S and Canon N Facebook ready side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon D300S has external dimensions of 147 x 114 x 74 mm (5.79 x 4.49 x 2.91″) and weighs 938 g (2.07 lb / 33.09 oz) (including batteries). Canon N Facebook ready has external dimensions of 79 x 60 x 29 mm (3.11 x 2.36 x 1.14″) and weighs 195 g (0.43 lb / 6.88 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon D300S and the Canon N Facebook ready. Canon N Facebook ready is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 68mm narrower, 54mm shorter and 45mm thinner than Nikon D300S. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon N Facebook ready has a built-in lens but Nikon D300S doesn't. Once you put a lens on D300S, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon D300S and Canon N Facebook ready.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon D300S and Canon N Facebook ready.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon N Facebook ready is significantly lighter (743g ) than the Nikon D300S 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 D300S, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the D300S has a big advantage over the N Facebook ready which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
