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 Canon M10 and Panasonic G7 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon M10 has external dimensions of 108 x 67 x 35 mm (4.25 x 2.64 x 1.38″) and weighs 301 g (0.66 lb / 10.62 oz) (including batteries). Panasonic G7 has external dimensions of 125 x 86 x 77 mm (4.92 x 3.39 x 3.03″) and weighs 410 g (0.90 lb / 14.46 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon M10 and the Panasonic G7. Canon M10 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 17mm narrower, 19mm shorter and 42mm thinner than Panasonic G7.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon M10 and Panasonic G7.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon M10 and Panasonic G7.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon M10 is significantly lighter (109g ) than the Panasonic G7 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Canon M10 has an APS-C sized sensor and Panasonic G7 has a smaller Four Thirds sensor, Panasonic G7's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Canon M10 lenses.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon EOS M10 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 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
Canon M10 and Panasonic G7's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Canon M10 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Panasonic G7 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
