Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot ELPH 360 HS nor Canon PowerShot ELPH 160 (IXUS 160) provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Canon ELPH 360 HS'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.
