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 510 HS (IXUS 1100 HS) nor Olympus SP-810 UZ provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Canon ELPH 510 HS's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus SP-810 UZ's 3" screen.
