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 G7 X MII and Nikon S9900 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon G7 X MII has external dimensions of 106 x 61 x 42 mm (4.17 x 2.4 x 1.65″) and weighs 319 g (0.70 lb / 11.25 oz) (including batteries). Nikon S9900 has external dimensions of 112 x 66 x 40 mm (4.41 x 2.6 x 1.57″) and weighs 289 g (0.64 lb / 10.19 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon G7 X MII and Nikon S9900.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S9900 is 30g lighter than the Canon G7 X MII but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II nor Nikon Coolpix S9900 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
