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 PowerShot ELPH 150 IS (IXUS 155) nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 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
Sony RX100's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon ELPH 150 IS's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
