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 XZ-10 and Nikon P7700 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus XZ-10 has external dimensions of 102 x 61 x 34 mm (4.03 x 2.41 x 1.35″) and weighs 221 g (0.49 lb / 7.80 oz) (including batteries). Nikon P7700 has external dimensions of 119 x 73 x 50 mm (4.69 x 2.87 x 1.97″) and weighs 392 g (0.86 lb / 13.83 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus XZ-10 and the Nikon P7700. Olympus XZ-10 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 17mm narrower, 12mm shorter and 16mm thinner than Nikon P7700.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus XZ-10 and Nikon P7700.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus XZ-10 and Nikon P7700.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus XZ-10 is significantly lighter (171g ) than the Nikon P7700 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus Stylus XZ-10 nor Nikon Coolpix P7700 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
Olympus XZ-10 and Nikon P7700's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon P7700 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. Olympus XZ-10's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P7700.
