Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh WG-6 is significantly lighter (1169g ) than the Nikon P1000 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather sealed body of WG-6, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to P1000.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon P1000's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Ricoh WG-6's 3 screen.
Moreover, Nikon P1000 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, Ricoh WG-6 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to P1000.
