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 SX530 HS and Olympus 1 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon SX530 HS has external dimensions of 120 x 82 x 92 mm (4.72 x 3.23 x 3.62″) and weighs 442 g (0.97 lb / 15.59 oz) (including batteries). Olympus 1 has external dimensions of 116 x 87 x 57 mm (4.57 x 3.43 x 2.24″) and weighs 402 g (0.89 lb / 14.18 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon SX530 HS and the Olympus 1. Olympus 1 is 4mm narrower and 35mm thinner than Canon SX530 HS but it is also 5mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon SX530 HS and Olympus 1.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon SX530 HS and Olympus 1.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus 1 is 40g lighter than the Canon SX530 HS but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX530 HS nor Olympus Stylus 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 SX530 HS and Olympus 1's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Olympus 1 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Canon SX530 HS has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to 1.
