Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Sony W830 and Kodak Astro AZ651 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony W830 has external dimensions of 93 x 52 x 23 mm (3.66 x 2.05 x 0.91″) and weighs 122 g (0.27 lb / 4.30 oz) (including batteries). Kodak Astro AZ651 has external dimensions of 125 x 114 x 89 mm and weighs 567 g (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony W830 and the Kodak Astro AZ651. Kodak Astro AZ651 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 93mm narrower, 52mm shorter and 23mm thinner than Sony W830.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony W830 and Kodak Astro AZ651.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony W830 is significantly lighter (445g ) than the Kodak Astro AZ651 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W830 nor Kodak Pixpro Astro Zoom AZ651 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
Kodak Astro AZ651's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony W830's 2.7" screen.
Moreover, Kodak Astro AZ651 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Sony W830 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to Astro AZ651.
