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 (136g ) than the Olympus SH-50 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 SH-50 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony TX20 and Olympus SH-50'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.
