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 Olympus SP-590 UZ and Nikon P1000 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus SP-590 UZ has external dimensions of 116 x 84 x 81 mm (4.57 x 3.31 x 3.19″) and weighs 413 g (0.91 lb / 14.57 oz) (including batteries). Nikon P1000 has external dimensions of 146 x 119 x 181 mm (5.75 x 4.69 x 7.13″) and weighs 1415 g (3.12 lb / 49.91 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus SP-590 UZ and the Nikon P1000. Olympus SP-590 UZ is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 30mm narrower, 35mm shorter and 100mm thinner than Nikon P1000.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus SP-590 UZ and Nikon P1000.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus SP-590 UZ is significantly lighter (1002g ) than the Nikon P1000 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the SP-590 UZ has a big advantage over the P1000 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon P1000's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus SP-590 UZ's 2.7" screen.
Moreover, Nikon P1000 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, Olympus SP-590 UZ has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P1000.
