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 Samsung MV800 and Sony TX20 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung MV800 has external dimensions of 92 x 56 x 10 mm (3.62 x 2.21 x 0.41″) and weighs 121 g (0.27 lb / 4.27 oz) (including batteries). Sony TX20 has external dimensions of 96 x 56 x 18 mm (3.78 x 2.2 x 0.71″) and weighs 133 g (0.29 lb / 4.69 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung MV800 is 12g lighter than the Sony TX20 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TX20, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the MV800.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung MV800 and Sony TX20's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Samsung MV800 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Sony TX20 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to MV800.
