Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak FZ45 is 6g lighter than the Sony W830 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W830 nor Kodak Pixpro FZ45 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
