Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon ELPH 310 HS is 4g lighter than the Canon ELPH 330 HS but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon ELPH 310 HS (IXUS 230 HS) nor Canon PowerShot ELPH 330 HS (IXUS 255 HS) provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Canon ELPH 310 HS and Canon ELPH 330 HS's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
