Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX420 IS nor Kodak Pixpro Astro Zoom AZ651 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 SX420 IS and Kodak Astro AZ651's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Kodak Astro AZ651 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. Canon SX420 IS's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to Astro AZ651.
