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 Nikon S8200 and Nikon S9300 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon S8200 has external dimensions of 104 x 59 x 33 mm (4.09 x 2.32 x 1.3″) and weighs 213 g (0.47 lb / 7.51 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 Nikon S8200 and the Nikon S9300. Nikon S8200 is 5mm narrower and 3mm shorter than Nikon S9300 but it is also 2mm thicker.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon S8200 and Nikon S9300.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S8200 is 2g lighter than the Nikon S9300 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S8200 nor Nikon Coolpix S9300 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
Nikon S8200 and Nikon S9300's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
