Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX300 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX350 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 WX350'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 WX350 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HX300.
