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 Nikon B700 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). Nikon B700 has external dimensions of 125 x 85 x 107 mm (4.92 x 3.35 x 4.21″) and weighs 565 g (1.25 lb / 19.93 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony HX90V and the Nikon B700. Sony HX90V is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 23mm narrower, 27mm shorter and 71mm thinner than Nikon B700.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony HX90V and Nikon B700.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony HX90V and Nikon B700.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony HX90V is significantly lighter (320g ) than the Nikon B700 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX90V nor Nikon Coolpix B700 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 and Nikon B700's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.

Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Nikon B700 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
