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 XG-1 and Nikon B600 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Pentax XG-1 has external dimensions of 119 x 89 x 98 mm (4.69 x 3.5 x 3.84″) and weighs 567 g (1.25 lb / 20.00 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon B600 is 67g lighter than the Pentax XG-1 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Pentax XG-1 nor Nikon Coolpix B600 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
Pentax XG-1 and Nikon B600's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
