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 TF1 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 TF1 has external dimensions of 102 x 62 x 23 mm (4.02 x 2.44 x 0.91″) and weighs 152 g (0.34 lb / 5.36 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon L31 and Sony TF1.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony TF1 is 8g lighter than the Nikon L31 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TF1, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the L31.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon L31 and Sony TF1's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 2.70 inches.
