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 Sony HX350 and Canon SX70 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony HX350 has external dimensions of 130 x 93 x 103 mm (5.12 x 3.66 x 4.06″) and weighs 652 g (1.44 lb / 23.00 oz) (including batteries). Canon SX70 HS has external dimensions of 127 x 91 x 117 mm (5 x 3.58 x 4.61″) and weighs 608 g (1.34 lb / 21.45 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX70 HS is 44g lighter than the Sony HX350 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX350 nor Canon PowerShot SX70 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
Sony HX350 and Canon SX70 HS's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Sony HX350 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Canon SX70 HS sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
