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 H90 and Sony WX500 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony H90 has external dimensions of 105 x 60 x 34 mm (4.13 x 2.36 x 1.34″) and weighs 222 g (0.49 lb / 7.83 oz) (including batteries). Sony WX500 has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 36 mm (4.02 x 2.28 x 1.42″) and weighs 236 g (0.52 lb / 8.32 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony H90 and the Sony WX500. Sony WX500 is 3mm narrower and 2mm shorter than Sony H90 but it is also 2mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony H90 and Sony WX500.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony H90 is 14g lighter than the Sony WX500 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H90 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX500 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 H90 and Sony WX500's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony WX500 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 H90 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to WX500.
