Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX100V nor Casio Exilim EX-ZR400 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 HX100V and Casio EX-ZR400's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony HX100V 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 Casio EX-ZR400 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HX100V.
