Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have chosen during that time. Following is the front view measurement comparison of the 650D and the WG-4 GPS.

Using size and weight, the portability grade of the 650D and WG-4 GPS is 65 and 90 respectively.

Generally, it is difficult to see the contrast in sensor sizes just by viewing technical specs. The picture underneath may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the 650D and WG-4 GPS.

As you can tell, both of those cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 650D having a bigger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon 650D will result in greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged 650D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
