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 S6500 and Sony HX90V side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon S6500 has external dimensions of and weighs 250 g (0.55 lb / 8.82 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 S6500 and the Sony HX90V. Nikon S6500 is 7mm narrower and 10mm thinner than Nikon S6500 but they have the same height of 58mm.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon S6500 and Sony HX90V.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony HX90V is 5g lighter than the Nikon S6500 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S6500 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX90V 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 S6500 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 S6500 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HX90V.
