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 HX10V and Nikon S9300 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony HX10V has external dimensions of 105 x 60 x 34 mm (4.13 x 2.36 x 1.34″) and weighs 234 g (0.52 lb / 8.25 oz) (including batteries). Nikon S9300 has external dimensions of 109 x 62 x 31 mm (4.29 x 2.44 x 1.22″) and weighs 215 g (0.47 lb / 7.58 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony HX10V and the Nikon S9300. Sony HX10V is 4mm narrower and 2mm shorter than Nikon S9300 but it is also 3mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony HX10V and Nikon S9300.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony HX10V and Nikon S9300.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S9300 is 19g lighter than the Sony HX10V but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX10V nor Nikon Coolpix S9300 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 HX10V and Nikon S9300'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.
