Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Ricoh WG-6 is 8g lighter than the Sony HX20V but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the WG-6, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the HX20V.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Ricoh WG-6 and Sony HX20V's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
