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 Canon ELPH 180 and Sony W800 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon ELPH 180 has external dimensions of 95 x 54 x 22 mm (3.74 x 2.13 x 0.87″) and weighs 126 g (0.28 lb / 4.44 oz) (including batteries). Sony W800 has external dimensions of 97 x 55 x 21 mm (1.97 x 0.87 x 2.13″) and weighs 125 g (0.28 lb / 4.41 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon ELPH 180 and the Sony W800. Canon ELPH 180 is 2mm narrower and 1mm shorter than Sony W800 but it is also 1mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon ELPH 180 and Sony W800.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon ELPH 180 and Sony W800.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony W800 is 1g lighter than the Canon ELPH 180 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
