Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you select at that moment. Below is a front view scale comparison of the A1000 compared to the P7000.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the A1000 and P7000 is 86 and 85 respectively.

Typically, it's tough to see the gap between sensor sizing only by reviewing technical specs. The photograph here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the A1000 and P7000.

As you can tell, the two cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The A1000 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Nikon A1000 will deliver greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern A1000 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
