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

Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TF1, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the S9700.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon S9700's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony TF1's 2.7" screen.
