Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony TX20 is significantly lighter (375g ) than the Nikon L830 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the TX20 has a big advantage over the L830 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony TX20 and Nikon L830's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon L830 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 TX20 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to L830.
