The P520 was released 12 months prior to the P600 so they are of a similar age. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before delving through a in depth comparison, below is a brief summary of how the P520 grades vs the P600 for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon Coolpix P520 & Nikon Coolpix P600. The complete galleries are viewable at Nikon P520 Gallery & Nikon P600 Gallery.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you have attached at that moment. Here is the front view physical size comparison of the P520 compared to the P600.

Often, its tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizes purely by viewing a spec sheet. The pic here will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the P520 and P600.

Clearly, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Nikon P520 to render extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged P520 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
