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 S-1 and Canon G15 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Kodak S-1 has external dimensions of 116 x 68 x 36 mm (4.55 x 2.69 x 1.4″) and weighs 290 g (0.64 lb / 10.23 oz) (including batteries). Canon G15 has external dimensions of 107 x 76 x 40 mm (4.21 x 2.99 x 1.57″) and weighs 352 g (0.78 lb / 12.42 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Kodak S-1 and the Canon G15. Kodak S-1 is 8mm shorter and 4mm thinner than Canon G15 but it is also 9mm wider. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon G15 has a built-in lens but Kodak S-1 doesn't. Once you put a lens on S-1, its thickness will increase significantly.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Kodak S-1 and Canon G15.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Kodak S-1 is significantly lighter (62g ) than the Canon G15 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on S-1, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Kodak Pixpro S-1 nor Canon PowerShot G15 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 S-1 and Canon G15's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Kodak S-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 G15 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to S-1.
