Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon ELPH 190 IS is significantly lighter (261g ) than the Canon G1 X III which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the G1 X III, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the 190 IS.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon G1 X III's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon ELPH 190 IS's 2.7 screen.
Moreover, Canon G1 X III sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Canon ELPH 190 IS has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G1 X III.
