Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon ELPH 130 (IXUS 140) nor Samsung TL240 (ST5000) 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
Samsung TL240's 3.50" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon ELPH 130's 3" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
