Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon G1 X III is significantly lighter (253g ) than the Sony HX350 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 HX350 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon G1 X III and Sony HX350's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Sony HX350 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Canon G1 X III sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
