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 SX410 IS and Canon 60D side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon SX410 IS has external dimensions of 104 x 69 x 85 mm (4.09 x 2.72 x 3.35″) and weighs 325 g (0.72 lb / 11.46 oz) (including batteries). Canon 60D has external dimensions of 145 x 106 x 79 mm (5.71 x 4.17 x 3.11″) and weighs 755 g (1.66 lb / 26.63 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon SX410 IS and the Canon 60D. Canon SX410 IS is 41mm narrower and 37mm shorter than Canon 60D but it is also 6mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon SX410 IS has a built-in lens but Canon 60D doesn't. Once you put a lens on 60D, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon SX410 IS and Canon 60D.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon SX410 IS and Canon 60D.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX410 IS is significantly lighter (430g ) than the Canon 60D which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on 60D, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the 60D, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the SX410 IS.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon SX410 IS and Canon 60D's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon 60D sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Canon SX410 IS's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to 60D.
