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 TX1 and Sony TX5 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony TX1 has external dimensions of 94 x 58 x 17 mm (3.7 x 2.28 x 0.67″) and weighs 142 g (0.31 lb / 5.01 oz) (including batteries). Sony TX5 has external dimensions of 94 x 57 x 18 mm (3.7 x 2.24 x 0.71″) and weighs 148 g (0.33 lb / 5.22 oz) (including batteries).

Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony TX1 and Sony TX5.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony TX1 is 6g lighter than the Sony TX5 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the TX5, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the TX1.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony TX1 and Sony TX5's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
