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 G11 and Canon N Facebook ready side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon G11 has external dimensions of 112 x 76 x 48 mm (4.41 x 2.99 x 1.89″) and weighs 375 g (0.83 lb / 13.23 oz) (including batteries). Canon N Facebook ready has external dimensions of 79 x 60 x 29 mm (3.11 x 2.36 x 1.14″) and weighs 195 g (0.43 lb / 6.88 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon G11 and the Canon N Facebook ready. Canon N Facebook ready is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 33mm narrower, 16mm shorter and 19mm thinner than Canon G11.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon N Facebook ready is significantly lighter (180g ) than the Canon G11 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot G11 nor Canon PowerShot N Facebook ready provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
