Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate Panasonic S5 and Nikon B700 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic S5 has external dimensions of 133 x 97 x 82 mm (5.24 x 3.82 x 3.23″) and weighs 714 g (1.57 lb) (including batteries). Nikon B700 has external dimensions of 125 x 85 x 107 mm (4.92 x 3.35 x 4.21″) and weighs 565 g (1.25 lb / 19.93 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Panasonic S5 and Nikon B700. Nikon B700 is 8mm narrower and 12mm shorter than Panasonic S5 but it is also 25mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Nikon B700 has a built-in lens but Panasonic S5 doesn't. Once you put a lens on S5, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon B700 is significantly lighter (149g ) than the Panasonic S5 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 S5, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
With its weather sealed body, we believe that S5 has a big advantage over B700 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic S5 and Nikon B700's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3".
Both cameras feature
Fully Articulating screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over the head levels. Fully articulating screens are also useful for taking Selfie shots and video.
