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 Panasonic FZ70 and Nikon P600 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic FZ70 has external dimensions of 130 x 97 x 118 mm (5.12 x 3.82 x 4.65″) and weighs 606 g (1.34 lb / 21.38 oz) (including batteries). Nikon P600 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 the Panasonic FZ70 and the Nikon P600. Nikon P600 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 5mm narrower, 12mm shorter and 11mm thinner than Panasonic FZ70.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon P600 is 41g lighter than the Panasonic FZ70 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 nor Nikon Coolpix P600 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
Panasonic FZ70 and Nikon P600's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon P600 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. Panasonic FZ70's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P600.
