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 IXUS 165 and Canon ELPH 360 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon IXUS 165 has external dimensions of 95 x 54 x 22 mm (3.74 x 2.13 x 0.87″) and weighs 128 g (0.28 lb / 4.52 oz) (including batteries). Canon ELPH 360 HS has external dimensions of 100 x 58 x 23 mm (3.94 x 2.28 x 0.91″) and weighs 147 g (0.32 lb / 5.19 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon IXUS 165 and the Canon ELPH 360 HS. Canon IXUS 165 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 5mm narrower, 4mm shorter and 1mm thinner than Canon ELPH 360 HS.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon IXUS 165 and Canon ELPH 360 HS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon IXUS 165 and Canon ELPH 360 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon IXUS 165 is 19g lighter than the Canon ELPH 360 HS but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon IXUS 165 nor Canon PowerShot ELPH 360 HS 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
Canon ELPH 360 HS's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon IXUS 165's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
