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 TX200V 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 TX200V has external dimensions of 96 x 58 x 16 mm (3.78 x 2.28 x 0.63″) and weighs 129 g (0.28 lb / 4.55 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Nikon S9900 and the Sony TX200V. Sony TX200V is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 16mm narrower, 8mm shorter and 24mm thinner than Nikon S9900.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Nikon S9900 and Sony TX200V.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Nikon S9900 and Sony TX200V.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony TX200V is significantly lighter (160g ) than the Nikon S9900 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TX200V, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the S9900.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony TX200V's 3.30" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon S9900's 3 screen.
On the other hand, Nikon S9900 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Sony TX200V has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to S9900.
