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 HX90V and Canon A2200 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony HX90V has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 36 mm (4.02 x 2.28 x 1.42″) and weighs 245 g (0.54 lb / 8.64 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony HX90V and Canon A2200.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon A2200 is significantly lighter (110g ) than the Sony HX90V which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX90V nor Canon PowerShot A2200 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 HX90V's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon A2200's 2.7" screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Sony HX90V LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Canon A2200 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HX90V.
