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 HX200V and Kodak Astro AZ651 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony HX200V has external dimensions of 122 x 87 x 93 mm (4.8 x 3.43 x 3.66″) and weighs 583 g (1.29 lb / 20.56 oz) (including batteries). Kodak Astro AZ651 has external dimensions of 125 x 114 x 89 mm and weighs 567 g (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony HX200V and the Kodak Astro AZ651. Kodak Astro AZ651 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 122mm narrower, 87mm shorter and 93mm thinner than Sony HX200V.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony HX200V and Kodak Astro AZ651.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak Astro AZ651 is 16g lighter than the Sony HX200V but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V nor Kodak Pixpro Astro Zoom AZ651 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Sony HX200V and Kodak Astro AZ651's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.

Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
