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 G5 X and Kodak S-1 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon G5 X has external dimensions of 112 x 76 x 44 mm (4.41 x 2.99 x 1.73″) and weighs 353 g (0.78 lb / 12.45 oz) (including batteries). Kodak S-1 has external dimensions of 116 x 68 x 36 mm (4.55 x 2.69 x 1.4″) and weighs 290 g (0.64 lb / 10.23 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon G5 X and the Kodak S-1. Kodak S-1 is 8mm shorter and 8mm thinner than Canon G5 X but it is also 4mm wider. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon G5 X has a built-in lens but Kodak S-1 doesn't. Once you put a lens on S-1, its thickness will increase significantly.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon G5 X and Kodak S-1.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak S-1 is significantly lighter (63g ) than the Canon G5 X which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on S-1, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot G5 X nor Kodak Pixpro S-1 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon G5 X and Kodak S-1's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Kodak S-1 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Canon G5 X sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
