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 HX400V and Sony HX300 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony HX400V has external dimensions of 130 x 93 x 103 mm (5.1 x 3.67 x 4.06″) and weighs 660 g (1.46 lb / 23.28 oz) (including batteries). 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).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony HX300 is 37g lighter than the Sony HX400V but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
