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-RX1 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VI 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 RX1 and Sony RX100 VI's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony RX100 VI 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 RX1 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to RX100 VI.
