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 ZV-1 and Sony RX100 IV side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony ZV-1 has external dimensions of 105 x 60 x 44 mm (4.13 x 2.36 x 1.73″) and weighs 294 g (0.65 lb / 10.37 oz) (including batteries). Sony RX100 IV has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 41 mm (4.02 x 2.28 x 1.61″) and weighs 298 g (0.66 lb / 10.51 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony ZV-1 and the Sony RX100 IV. Sony RX100 IV is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 3mm narrower, 2mm shorter and 3mm thinner than Sony ZV-1.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony ZV-1 and Sony RX100 IV.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony ZV-1 and Sony RX100 IV.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony ZV-1 is 4g lighter than the Sony RX100 IV but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony ZV-1 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV 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 ZV-1 and Sony RX100 IV's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Sony RX100 IV features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Sony ZV-1 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
