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 Sony WX50 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). 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).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony WX80 and the Sony WX50. Sony WX80 has the same height and width with Sony WX50. On the other hand, with a thickness of 22mm, it is 3mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony WX80 and Sony WX50.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony WX50 is 7g lighter than the Sony WX80 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX80 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.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony WX80 and Sony WX50's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 2.70 inches.
