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 350 HS 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 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).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon G1 X III and the Canon ELPH 350 HS. Canon ELPH 350 HS is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 15mm narrower, 20mm shorter and 28mm thinner than Canon G1 X III.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon G1 X III and Canon ELPH 350 HS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon G1 X III and Canon ELPH 350 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon ELPH 350 HS is significantly lighter (252g ) 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 350 HS which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon G1 X III and Canon ELPH 350 HS's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, 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. Canon ELPH 350 HS's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G1 X III.
