Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate Canon 7D MII and Panasonic G95 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions.
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Canon 7D MII and Panasonic G95. Panasonic G95 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 19mm narrower, 18mm shorter and 1mm thinner than Canon 7D MII.
Here is the back view size comparison of Canon 7D MII and Panasonic G95.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon 7D MII and Panasonic G95.
Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic G95 is significantly lighter (374g ) than the Canon 7D MII 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 have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Canon 7D MII has an APS-C sized sensor and Panasonic G95 has a smaller Four Thirds sensor, Panasonic G95's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Canon 7D MII lenses.

Weather Sealing
Both 7D MII and G95 have weather sealings in their body, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon 7D MII and Panasonic G95's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3".
Canon 7D MII has a 20.0MP APS-C (22.4 x 15 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 6 (dual) processor. On the other hand, Panasonic G95 has a 20.3MP Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Venus Engine processor.
One other difference between these two cameras that is worth mentioning is that Panasonic G95's sensor doesn't have an anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes.
Below you can see the 7D MII and G95 sensor size comparison.
As seen above, Canon 7D MII has a 1.5x Larger sensor area than Panasonic G95. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
In this section, we rank and compare Canon 7D MII and Panasonic G95 for five different photography types in order to make your decision process easier in case you are specifically interested in one or more of these areas.

Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that Canon 7D MII has an advantage over Panasonic G95. There are 319 lenses for Canon 7D MII's Canon EF/EF-S mount, on the other hand there are only 101 lenses for Panasonic G95's Micro Four Thirds lens mount.
Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. Panasonic G95 has a big advantage in this regard because it has a sensor based image stabilization which means that all the lenses mounted to this body will be stabilized. On the other hand, Canon 7D MII doesn't have this feature so you have to buy a lens with optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 107 lenses for Canon EF/EF-S mount with Optical Image Stabilization features.
