The B700 was announced 4 years later than the S8200 and that is quite a significant difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Nikon B700 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Nikon S8200 being a Compact camera.

Before going straight into a in depth comparison, below is a short introduction of how the B700 matches up versus the S8200 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

If you're looking to carry your camera often, you will have to think about its weight and dimensions.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you have during that time. Underneath is the front view size comparison of the B700 against the S8200.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability grade of the B700 and S8200 is 65 and 91 respectively.

Usually, its difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizing purely by looking at specs. The photograph here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the B700 and S8200.

All in all, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Nikon B700 to resolve more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The younger B700 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
