Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon 160 is significantly lighter (272g ) 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 G1 X III has a big advantage over ELPH 160 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 160'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 160 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G1 X III.
