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 L31 and Casio TRYX side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon L31 has external dimensions of 96 x 59 x 29 mm (3.78 x 2.32 x 1.14″) and weighs 160 g (0.35 lb / 5.64 oz) (including batteries). Casio TRYX has external dimensions of 122 x 58 x 15 mm (4.8 x 2.28 x 0.59″) and weighs (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon L31 and the Casio TRYX. Casio TRYX is 1mm shorter and 14mm thinner than Nikon L31 but it is also 26mm wider.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Casio TRYX is 160g lighter than the Nikon L31 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix L31 nor Casio Exilim TRYX 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
Casio TRYX's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon L31's 2.7 screen.
Moreover, Casio TRYX sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Nikon L31 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to TRYX.
