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 Sony WX50 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). Sony WX50 has external dimensions of 92 x 52 x 19 mm (3.62 x 2.05 x 0.75″) and weighs 117 g (0.26 lb / 4.13 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony WX50 is 5g 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 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX50 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
