Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon ELPH 330 HS is significantly lighter (80g ) than the Canon SX240 HS which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot ELPH 330 HS (IXUS 255 HS) nor Canon PowerShot SX240 HS 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 330 HS and Canon SX240 HS's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
