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 Sony T90 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). Sony T90 has external dimensions of 94 x 57 x 15 mm (3.7 x 2.24 x 0.59″) and weighs 148 g (0.33 lb / 5.22 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon L31 and the Sony T90. Sony T90 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 2mm narrower, 2mm shorter and 14mm thinner than Nikon L31.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony T90 is 12g 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 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90 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
Sony T90's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon L31's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
