Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony W730 is significantly lighter (30g ) than the Olympus VH-410 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus VH-410 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W730 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
Olympus VH-410's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony W730's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
