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 ELPH 350 HS and Sony W830 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon ELPH 350 HS 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). Sony W830 has external dimensions of 93 x 52 x 23 mm (3.66 x 2.05 x 0.91″) and weighs 122 g (0.27 lb / 4.30 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon ELPH 350 HS and the Sony W830. Sony W830 is 7mm narrower and 6mm shorter than Canon ELPH 350 HS but they have the same thickness of 23mm.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon ELPH 350 HS and Sony W830.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon ELPH 350 HS and Sony W830.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony W830 is significantly lighter (25g ) than the Canon ELPH 350 HS which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot ELPH 350 HS (IXUS 275 HS) nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W830 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 350 HS's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony W830's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
