Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W570 nor Canon PowerShot ELPH 360 HS provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Canon ELPH 360 HS's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony W570's 2.7" screen.
