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 Olympus 1s and Canon SX220 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus 1s has external dimensions of 116 x 87 x 57 mm (4.57 x 3.43 x 2.24″) and weighs 402 g (0.89 lb / 14.18 oz) (including batteries). Canon SX220 HS has external dimensions of 106 x 59 x 33 mm (4.17 x 2.32 x 1.3″) and weighs (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus 1s and the Canon SX220 HS. Canon SX220 HS is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 10mm narrower, 28mm shorter and 24mm thinner than Olympus 1s.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus 1s and Canon SX220 HS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus 1s and Canon SX220 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX220 HS is 402g lighter than the Olympus 1s but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Olympus Stylus 1s nor Canon SX220 HS 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
Olympus 1s and Canon SX220 HS's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Olympus 1s 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 SX220 HS has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to 1s.
