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 Pentax RS1500 and Nikon S5200 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Pentax RS1500 has external dimensions of 114 x 58 x 28 mm (4.49 x 2.28 x 1.1″) and weighs 157 g (0.35 lb / 5.54 oz) (including batteries). Nikon S5200 has external dimensions of 98 x 58 x 22 mm (3.86 x 2.28 x 0.87″) and weighs 146 g (0.32 lb / 5.15 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S5200 is 11g lighter than the Pentax RS1500 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the RS1500 has a big advantage over the S5200 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon S5200's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Pentax RS1500's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
