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 Casio EX-FC100 and Canon SX50 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Casio EX-FC100 has external dimensions of 100 x 59 x 23 mm (3.94 x 2.32 x 0.91″) and weighs 156 g (0.34 lb / 5.50 oz) (including batteries). Canon SX50 HS has external dimensions of 123 x 87 x 106 mm (4.84 x 3.43 x 4.17″) and weighs 595 g (1.31 lb / 20.99 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Casio EX-FC100 and the Canon SX50 HS. Casio EX-FC100 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 23mm narrower, 28mm shorter and 83mm thinner than Canon SX50 HS.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Casio EX-FC100 and Canon SX50 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Casio EX-FC100 is significantly lighter (439g ) than the Canon SX50 HS which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 nor Canon PowerShot SX50 HS 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 SX50 HS's 2.80" LCD screen is slightly larger than Casio EX-FC100's 2.7 screen.
Moreover, Canon SX50 HS 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. On the other hand, Casio EX-FC100 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to SX50 HS.
