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 Sony RX100 V 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). Sony RX100 V has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 41 mm (4.02 x 2.28 x 1.61″) and weighs 299 g (0.66 lb / 10.55 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon G5 X MII and the Sony RX100 V. Sony RX100 V is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 9mm narrower, 3mm shorter and 5mm thinner than Canon G5 X MII.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon G5 X MII and Sony RX100 V.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon G5 X MII and Sony RX100 V.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony RX100 V is 41g lighter than the Canon G5 X MII but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
