Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX610 HS is significantly lighter (376g ) than the Kodak Astro AZ651 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX610 HS nor Kodak Pixpro Astro Zoom AZ651 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 SX610 HS and Kodak Astro AZ651's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Kodak Astro AZ651 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 SX610 HS's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to Astro AZ651.
