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 G1 X III and Sony RX100 V side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon G1 X III has external dimensions of 115 x 78 x 51 mm (4.53 x 3.07 x 2.01″) and weighs 399 g (0.88 lb / 14.07 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon G1 X III and Sony RX100 V.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony RX100 V is significantly lighter (100g ) than the Canon G1 X III which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the G1 X III has a big advantage over the RX100 V which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon G1 X III and Sony RX100 V's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Sony RX100 V features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Canon G1 X III sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
