LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon SX10 IS and Casio EX-G1's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 2.50 inches.
On the other hand, Canon SX10 IS 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. Casio EX-G1's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to SX10 IS.
