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 SX740 HS and Sony ZV-1 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon SX740 HS has external dimensions of 110 x 64 x 40 mm (4.33 x 2.52 x 1.57″) and weighs 299 g (0.66 lb / 10.55 oz) (including batteries). Sony ZV-1 has external dimensions of 105 x 60 x 44 mm (4.13 x 2.36 x 1.73″) and weighs 294 g (0.65 lb / 10.37 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon SX740 HS and the Sony ZV-1. Sony ZV-1 is 5mm narrower and 4mm shorter than Canon SX740 HS but it is also 4mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon SX740 HS and Sony ZV-1.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon SX740 HS and Sony ZV-1.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony ZV-1 is 5g lighter than the Canon SX740 HS but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS nor Sony ZV-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 SX740 HS and Sony ZV-1's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.

Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
