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 S120 and Samsung SH100 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon S120 has external dimensions of 100 x 59 x 29 mm (3.94 x 2.32 x 1.14″) and weighs 217 g (0.48 lb / 7.65 oz) (including batteries). Samsung SH100 has external dimensions of 93 x 54 x 19 mm (3.66 x 2.13 x 0.75″) and weighs (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon S120 and the Samsung SH100. Samsung SH100 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 7mm narrower, 5mm shorter and 10mm thinner than Canon S120.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon S120 and Samsung SH100.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon S120 and Samsung SH100.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung SH100 is 217g lighter than the Canon S120 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot S120 nor Samsung SH100 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
Canon S120 and Samsung SH100's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
