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 Sony TX66 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). Sony TX66 has external dimensions of 93 x 54 x 13 mm (3.66 x 2.13 x 0.51″) and weighs 109 g (0.24 lb / 3.84 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon 160 and Sony TX66.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony TX66 is significantly lighter (18g ) than the Canon 160 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot ELPH 160 (IXUS 160) nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX66 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 TX66's 3.30" 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.
