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 S9300 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 S9300 has external dimensions of 109 x 62 x 31 mm (4.29 x 2.44 x 1.22″) and weighs 215 g (0.47 lb / 7.58 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Pentax RS1500 and the Nikon S9300. Pentax RS1500 is 4mm shorter and 3mm thinner than Nikon S9300 but it is also 5mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Pentax RS1500 and Nikon S9300.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Pentax RS1500 and Nikon S9300.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Pentax RS1500 is significantly lighter (58g ) than the Nikon S9300 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the RS1500 has a big advantage over the S9300 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon S9300'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.
