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 SX700 HS and Canon M10 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon SX700 HS has external dimensions of 113 x 66 x 35 mm (4.45 x 2.6 x 1.38″) and weighs 269 g (0.59 lb / 9.49 oz) (including batteries). Canon M10 has external dimensions of 108 x 67 x 35 mm (4.25 x 2.64 x 1.38″) and weighs 301 g (0.66 lb / 10.62 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon SX700 HS and the Canon M10. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon SX700 HS has a built-in lens but Canon M10 doesn't. Once you put a lens on M10, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon SX700 HS and Canon M10.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon SX700 HS and Canon M10.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX700 HS is 32g lighter than the Canon M10 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
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 M10, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX700 HS nor Canon EOS M10 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 SX700 HS and Canon M10's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon M10 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Canon SX700 HS has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to M10.
