Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
GoPro Hero6 Black is significantly lighter (117g ) than the Canon SX280 HS which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the Hero6 Black has a big advantage over the SX280 HS which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon SX280 HS's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than GoPro Hero6 Black's 2″ screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
