Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony WX80 is significantly lighter (84g ) than the Sony HX7V which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX80 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX7V 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 HX7V'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.
