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 HX300 and Sony H300 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony HX300 has external dimensions of 130 x 93 x 103 mm (5.1 x 3.67 x 4.06″) and weighs 623 g (including batteries). Sony H300 has external dimensions of 130 x 95 x 122 mm (5.1 x 3.74 x 4.81″) and weighs 590 g (1.30 lb / 20.81 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony H300 is 33g lighter than the Sony HX300 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX300 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H300 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 HX300 and Sony H300's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony HX300 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 H300 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HX300.
