Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX160 IS is 9g lighter than the Samsung Galaxy Camera but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX160 IS nor Samsung Galaxy Camera (Wi-Fi) provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung Galaxy Camera's 4.80" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon SX160 IS's 3" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
