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 160 and Canon ELPH 360 HS A side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon 160 has external dimensions of 95 x 54 x 22 mm (3.74 x 2.13 x 0.87″) and weighs 127 g (0.28 lb / 4.48 oz) (including batteries). Canon ELPH 360 HS A 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).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon 160 is 20g lighter than the Canon ELPH 360 HS A but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot ELPH 160 (IXUS 160) nor Canon PowerShot ELPH 360 HS A 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 A's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon 160's 2.7 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
