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 G1 X III and Canon ELPH 150 IS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon G1 X III has external dimensions of 115 x 78 x 51 mm (4.53 x 3.07 x 2.01″) and weighs 399 g (0.88 lb / 14.07 oz) (including batteries). Canon ELPH 150 IS has external dimensions of 95 x 57 x 24 mm (3.74 x 2.24 x 0.94″) and weighs 142 g (0.31 lb / 5.01 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon G1 X III and the Canon ELPH 150 IS. Canon ELPH 150 IS is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 20mm narrower, 21mm shorter and 27mm thinner than Canon G1 X III.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon G1 X III and Canon ELPH 150 IS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon G1 X III and Canon ELPH 150 IS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon ELPH 150 IS is significantly lighter (257g ) than the Canon G1 X III which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the G1 X III has a big advantage over the ELPH 150 IS which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon G1 X III's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon ELPH 150 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 150 IS has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G1 X III.
