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 Kodak M575 and Canon SD1200 IS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Kodak M575 has external dimensions of 99 x 58 x 19 mm (3.9 x 2.28 x 0.75″) and weighs 152 g (0.34 lb / 5.36 oz) (including batteries). Canon SD1200 IS has external dimensions of 86 x 55 x 22 mm (3.39 x 2.17 x 0.87″) and weighs 160 g (0.35 lb / 5.64 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Kodak M575 and the Canon SD1200 IS. Canon SD1200 IS is 13mm narrower and 3mm shorter than Kodak M575 but it is also 3mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Kodak M575 and Canon SD1200 IS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak M575 is 8g lighter than the Canon SD1200 IS but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Kodak EasyShare M575 nor Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS (Digital IXUS 95 IS) 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
Kodak M575's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon SD1200 IS's 2.5" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
