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 Canon 60D and Casio EX-Z550 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon 60D has external dimensions of 145 x 106 x 79 mm (5.71 x 4.17 x 3.11″) and weighs 755 g (1.66 lb / 26.63 oz) (including batteries). Casio EX-Z550 has external dimensions of 99 x 53 x 20 mm (3.9 x 2.09 x 0.79″) and weighs 143 g (0.32 lb / 5.04 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon 60D and the Casio EX-Z550. Casio EX-Z550 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 46mm narrower, 53mm shorter and 59mm thinner than Canon 60D. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Casio EX-Z550 has a built-in lens but Canon 60D doesn't. Once you put a lens on 60D, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon 60D and Casio EX-Z550.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Casio EX-Z550 is significantly lighter (612g ) than the Canon 60D 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 60D, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the 60D has a big advantage over the EX-Z550 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon 60D's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Casio EX-Z550's 2.7 screen.
Moreover, Canon 60D sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Casio EX-Z550 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to 60D.
