LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony RX100 VII's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon A10's 2.7 screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Sony RX100 VII LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Nikon A10 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to RX100 VII.
