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 WX80 and Nikon S5300 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony WX80 has external dimensions of 92 x 52 x 22 mm (3.62 x 2.05 x 0.87″) and weighs 124 g (0.27 lb / 4.37 oz) (including batteries). Nikon S5300 has external dimensions of 97 x 58 x 21 mm (3.82 x 2.28 x 0.83″) and weighs 138 g (0.30 lb / 4.87 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony WX80 and the Nikon S5300. Sony WX80 is 5mm narrower and 6mm shorter than Nikon S5300 but it is also 1mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony WX80 and Nikon S5300.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony WX80 and Nikon S5300.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony WX80 is 14g lighter than the Nikon S5300 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX80 nor Nikon Coolpix S5300 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
Nikon S5300's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony WX80's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
