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 W810 and Canon ELPH 180 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony W810 has external dimensions of 97 x 56 x 21 mm (3.82 x 2.2 x 0.83″) and weighs 111 g (0.24 lb / 3.92 oz) (including batteries). Canon ELPH 180 has external dimensions of 95 x 54 x 22 mm (3.74 x 2.13 x 0.87″) and weighs 126 g (0.28 lb / 4.44 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony W810 and Canon ELPH 180.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony W810 is 15g lighter than the Canon ELPH 180 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
