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 W60 and Nikon P7800 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Pentax W60 has external dimensions of 98 x 56 x 25 mm (3.86 x 2.2 x 0.98″) and weighs 165 g (0.36 lb / 5.82 oz) (including batteries). Nikon P7800 has external dimensions of 119 x 78 x 50 mm (4.69 x 3.07 x 1.97″) and weighs 399 g (0.88 lb / 14.07 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Pentax W60 and the Nikon P7800. Pentax W60 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 21mm narrower, 22mm shorter and 25mm thinner than Nikon P7800.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Pentax W60 is significantly lighter (234g ) than the Nikon P7800 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the W60 has a big advantage over the P7800 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon P7800's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Pentax W60's 2.5" screen.
Moreover, Nikon P7800 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. On the other hand, Pentax W60 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P7800.
