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 TL225 and Canon SX220 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung TL225 has external dimensions of 100 x 60 x 19 mm (3.94 x 2.36 x 0.75″) and weighs 187 g (0.41 lb / 6.60 oz) (including batteries). Canon SX220 HS has external dimensions of 106 x 59 x 33 mm (4.17 x 2.32 x 1.3″) and weighs (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung TL225 and the Canon SX220 HS. Samsung TL225 is 6mm narrower and 14mm thinner than Canon SX220 HS but it is also 1mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Samsung TL225 and Canon SX220 HS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Samsung TL225 and Canon SX220 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX220 HS is 187g lighter than the Samsung TL225 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung TL225 (ST550) nor Canon SX220 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
Samsung TL225's 3.50" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon SX220 HS's 3" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
