Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony H70 is 14g lighter than the Sony HX7V but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H70 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX7V 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 H70 and Sony HX7V'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.
