Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S80 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX66 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 S80's 3.50" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony TX66's 3.3" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
