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 Sony RX1 and Canon G7 X MII side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony RX1 has external dimensions of 113 x 65 x 70 mm (4.45 x 2.56 x 2.76″) and weighs 482 g (1.06 lb / 17.00 oz) (including batteries).

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon G7 X MII is significantly lighter (163g ) than the Sony RX1 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 nor Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II 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
Sony RX1 and Canon G7 X MII's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Canon G7 X MII features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Sony RX1 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to G7 X MII.
