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 Panasonic G85 and Sony RX100 VI side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Panasonic G85 has external dimensions of 128 x 89 x 74 mm (5.04 x 3.5 x 2.91″) and weighs 505 g (1.11 lb / 17.81 oz) (including batteries). Sony RX100 VI has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 43 mm (4.02 x 2.28 x 1.69″) and weighs 301 g (0.66 lb / 10.62 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Panasonic G85 and the Sony RX100 VI. Sony RX100 VI is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 26mm narrower, 31mm shorter and 31mm thinner than Panasonic G85. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Sony RX100 VI has a built-in lens but Panasonic G85 doesn't. Once you put a lens on G85, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Panasonic G85 and Sony RX100 VI.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Panasonic G85 and Sony RX100 VI.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony RX100 VI is significantly lighter (204g ) than the Panasonic G85 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on G85, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the G85 has a big advantage over the RX100 VI which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Panasonic G85 and Sony RX100 VI's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Sony RX100 VI features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Panasonic G85 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
