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 Pentax WG-3 and Sony HX90V side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Pentax WG-3 has external dimensions of 124 x 64 x 33 mm (4.9 x 2.5 x 1.3″) and weighs 230 g (0.51 lb / 8.11 oz) (including batteries). Sony HX90V has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 36 mm (4.02 x 2.28 x 1.42″) and weighs 245 g (0.54 lb / 8.64 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Pentax WG-3 and the Sony HX90V. Sony HX90V is 22mm narrower and 6mm shorter than Pentax WG-3 but it is also 3mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Pentax WG-3 and Sony HX90V.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Pentax WG-3 and Sony HX90V.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Pentax WG-3 is 15g lighter than the Sony HX90V but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WG-3, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the HX90V.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Pentax WG-3 and Sony HX90V's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony HX90V 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 Pentax WG-3 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HX90V.
