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 Sony H300 and Sony HX400V side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony H300 has external dimensions of 130 x 95 x 122 mm (5.1 x 3.74 x 4.81″) and weighs 590 g (1.30 lb / 20.81 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony H300 is 70g lighter than the Sony HX400V but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H300 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX400V 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
Sony H300 and Sony HX400V's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony HX400V 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 H300 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HX400V.
