Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH25 (Lumix DMC-FS35) 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
Canon G5 X MII's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic FH25's 2.7" screen.
In addition to the size advantage, Canon G5 X MII LCD screen also has a
Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Panasonic FH25 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to G5 X MII.
