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 Sony A6300 and Canon SX730 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony A6300 has external dimensions of 120 x 67 x 49 mm (4.72 x 2.64 x 1.93″) and weighs 404 g (0.89 lb / 14.25 oz) (including batteries). Canon SX730 HS has external dimensions of 110 x 64 x 40 mm (4.33 x 2.52 x 1.57″) and weighs 300 g (0.66 lb / 10.58 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony A6300 and the Canon SX730 HS. Canon SX730 HS is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 10mm narrower, 3mm shorter and 9mm thinner than Sony A6300. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon SX730 HS has a built-in lens but Sony A6300 doesn't. Once you put a lens on A6300, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony A6300 and Canon SX730 HS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony A6300 and Canon SX730 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX730 HS is significantly lighter (104g ) than the Sony A6300 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 A6300, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the A6300 has a big advantage over the SX730 HS which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony A6300 and Canon SX730 HS's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Both cameras feature
Tilting screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels.
