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 L26 and Sony W800 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon L26 has external dimensions of 96 x 60 x 29 mm (3.78 x 2.36 x 1.14″) and weighs 164 g (0.36 lb / 5.78 oz) (including batteries). Sony W800 has external dimensions of 97 x 55 x 21 mm (1.97 x 0.87 x 2.13″) and weighs 125 g (0.28 lb / 4.41 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon L26 and the Sony W800. Sony W800 is 5mm shorter and 8mm thinner than Nikon L26 but it is also 1mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon L26 and Sony W800.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon L26 and Sony W800.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony W800 is significantly lighter (39g ) than the Nikon L26 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix L26 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W800 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon L26's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony W800's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
