Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony TX20 is 5g lighter than the Nikon S5300 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the TX20 has a big advantage over the S5300 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony TX20 and Nikon S5300'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.
