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 G5 X MII and Canon SX730 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon G5 X MII has external dimensions of 111 x 61 x 46 mm (4.37 x 2.4 x 1.81″) and weighs 340 g (0.75 lb / 11.99 oz) (including batteries). Canon SX730 HS has external dimensions of 110 x 64 x 40 mm (4.33 x 2.52 x 1.57″) and weighs 300 g (0.66 lb / 10.58 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon G5 X MII and the Canon SX730 HS. Canon SX730 HS is 1mm narrower and 6mm thinner than Canon G5 X MII but it is also 3mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon G5 X MII and Canon SX730 HS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon G5 X MII and Canon SX730 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX730 HS is 40g lighter than the Canon G5 X MII but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
