Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony TX66 is significantly lighter (145g ) than the Sony HX30V which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX66 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony TX66'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.
