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 Samsung SH100 and Canon ELPH 140 IS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung SH100 has external dimensions of 93 x 54 x 19 mm (3.66 x 2.13 x 0.75″) and weighs (including batteries). Canon ELPH 140 IS has external dimensions of 95 x 54 x 22 mm (3.74 x 2.13 x 0.87″) and weighs 127 g (0.28 lb / 4.48 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung SH100 and the Canon ELPH 140 IS. Samsung SH100 is 2mm narrower and 3mm thinner than Samsung SH100 but they have the same height of 54mm.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Samsung SH100 and Canon ELPH 140 IS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Samsung SH100 and Canon ELPH 140 IS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung SH100 is 127g lighter than the Canon ELPH 140 IS but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung SH100 nor Canon PowerShot ELPH 140 IS (IXUS 150) 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
Samsung SH100's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon ELPH 140 IS's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
