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 G1 X III and Panasonic GH5 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). Panasonic GH5 has external dimensions of 139 x 98 x 87 mm (5.47 x 3.86 x 3.43″) and weighs 725 g (1.60 lb / 25.57 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Canon G1 X III and Panasonic GH5. Canon G1 X III is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 24mm narrower, 20mm shorter and 36mm thinner than Panasonic GH5. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon G1 X III has a built-in lens but Panasonic GH5 doesn't. Once you put a lens on GH5, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon G1 X III is significantly lighter (326g ) than the Panasonic GH5 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 GH5, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Both G1 X III and GH5 have weather sealings in their body, making them resistant to water and dust.
