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 SX620 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 SX620 HS has external dimensions of 97 x 57 x 28 mm (3.81 x 2.24 x 1.1″) and weighs 182 g (0.40 lb / 6.42 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon G1 X III and the Canon SX620 HS. Canon SX620 HS is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 18mm narrower, 21mm shorter and 23mm thinner than Canon G1 X III.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon G1 X III and Canon SX620 HS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon G1 X III and Canon SX620 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX620 HS is significantly lighter (217g ) 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 SX620 HS which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon G1 X III and Canon SX620 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 SX620 HS's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G1 X III.
