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 S9900 and Sony RX100 VII side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon S9900 has external dimensions of 112 x 66 x 40 mm (4.41 x 2.6 x 1.57″) and weighs 289 g (0.64 lb / 10.19 oz) (including batteries). Sony RX100 VII has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 43 mm (4.02 x 2.28 x 1.69″) and weighs 302 g (0.67 lb / 10.65 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon S9900 and the Sony RX100 VII. Sony RX100 VII is 10mm narrower and 8mm shorter than Nikon S9900 but it is also 3mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon S9900 and Sony RX100 VII.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon S9900 and Sony RX100 VII.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S9900 is 13g lighter than the Sony RX100 VII but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix S9900 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VII 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 S9900 and Sony RX100 VII's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Sony RX100 VII features a

Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
