Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate Canon ELPH 150 IS and Leica M9 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon ELPH 150 IS has external dimensions of 95 x 57 x 24 mm (3.74 x 2.24 x 0.94″) and weighs 142 g (0.31 lb / 5.01 oz) (including batteries). Leica M9 has external dimensions of 139 x 80 x 37 mm (5.47 x 3.15 x 1.46″) and weighs 585 g (1.29 lb / 20.64 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Canon ELPH 150 IS and Leica M9. Canon ELPH 150 IS is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 44mm narrower, 23mm shorter and 13mm thinner than Leica M9. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon ELPH 150 IS has a built-in lens but Leica M9 doesn't. Once you put a lens on M9, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon ELPH 150 IS is significantly lighter (443g ) than the Leica M9 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 M9, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Canon PowerShot ELPH 150 IS (IXUS 155) nor Leica M9 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon ELPH 150 IS's 2.70" LCD screen is slightly larger than Leica M9's 2.5 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
