Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WG-6, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the P510.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Ricoh WG-6 and Nikon P510's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon P510 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Ricoh WG-6 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to P510.
