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 Nikon AW130 and Sony HX90V side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon AW130 has external dimensions of 110 x 66 x 27 mm (4.33 x 2.6 x 1.06″) and weighs 221 g (0.49 lb / 7.80 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 Nikon AW130 and the Sony HX90V. Sony HX90V is 8mm narrower and 8mm shorter than Nikon AW130 but it is also 9mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon AW130 and Sony HX90V.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon AW130 and Sony HX90V.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon AW130 is 24g lighter than the Sony HX90V but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the AW130 has a big advantage over the HX90V which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon AW130 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 Nikon AW130 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HX90V.
