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 TX66 and Canon 100D side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony TX66 has external dimensions of 93 x 54 x 13 mm (3.66 x 2.13 x 0.51″) and weighs 109 g (0.24 lb / 3.84 oz) (including batteries). Canon 100D has external dimensions of 117 x 91 x 69 mm (4.61 x 3.58 x 2.72″) and weighs 407 g (0.90 lb / 14.36 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony TX66 and the Canon 100D. Sony TX66 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 24mm narrower, 37mm shorter and 56mm thinner than Canon 100D. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Sony TX66 has a built-in lens but Canon 100D doesn't. Once you put a lens on 100D, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony TX66 and Canon 100D.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony TX66 and Canon 100D.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony TX66 is significantly lighter (298g ) than the Canon 100D 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 100D, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX66 nor Canon EOS 100D (EOS Rebel SL1) 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
Sony TX66's 3.30" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon 100D's 3" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
