Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony TX200V is significantly lighter (125g ) than the Sony HX30V which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the TX200V has a big advantage over the HX30V which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony TX200V's 3.30" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony HX30V's 3" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
