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 SX150 IS and Canon SX160 IS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon SX150 IS has external dimensions of 113 x 73 x 46 mm (4.45 x 2.87 x 1.81″) and weighs 306 g (0.67 lb / 10.79 oz) (including batteries). Canon SX160 IS has external dimensions of 111 x 73 x 44 mm (4.37 x 2.87 x 1.73″) and weighs 291 g (0.64 lb / 10.26 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX160 IS is 15g lighter than the Canon SX150 IS but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
